The name “Scrambler XP” is printed on the center panel and “Polaris” is stamped on the front grill and the rear panel.
The recalled ATVs can be identified by the following model-numbers: A14GH9EAW, A15SVE95AW, A16SVE95AM, A16SVE95AA and A17SVE95AM. The model number is located on the fuel tank cover.

The recall comes just 3 weeks after Polaris recalled about 25,600 Sportsman 570 ATVs after 30 reports of fuel leaks and 4 fires. On July 20, Polaris also recalled 1,160 of the 2017 RZR 570 and S 470 off-road vehicles because the front brakes can detach and cause a crash.
