Certain Eiger and Vinson ATVs were assembled with fuel tanks having an incorrect fuel petcock insert. With the incorrect insert, the originally specified bolts affixing the fuel petcock to the fuel tank are too long and can bottom-out in the insert before the fuel petcock is securely clamped to the fuel tank. If the fuel petcock is not securely clamped to the fuel tank, fuel leakage could occur. Correction: Dealers will replace the 16 mm long fuel petcock mounting bolts and bolt gaskets with 14 mm long bolts and new bolt gaskets.
