Is my product affected?

Polaris "Sportsman 700 EFI" ATVs

  • Brand Polaris Industries, Inc., of Medina, Minn.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Polaris Industries is recalling all model year 2004 Sportsman 700 EFI ATVs with model numbers A04CH68CU, A04CH68AU, A04CH68AP, and A04CH68AQ. These vehicles have two defects: the throttle cable may bind when the handlebars are turned fully left or right, causing the engine to speed up and the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally, and the fuel line may rub against the chassis and leak, creating a fire hazard. You can identify a recalled ATV by the model number located on the rear upper frame tube directly under the right side of the seat, or by the black seat with gray, red, and black chassis, with "700 Sportsman" displayed prominently on the sides and "EFI" on the headlight pod.

To address these defects, Polaris will provide free repairs. Owners should contact their Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment where the dealer will inspect, reroute, and replace the throttle cable and fuel line as needed. Polaris has already notified consumers directly about this recall.
