On certain side-by-side ATVs, the fuel line connectors in the engine compartment may not have been properly connected. If the connectors were to separate, the engine would stall and fuel would be sprayed in the engine compartment. Fuel could also continue to be sprayed while attempts are made at re-starting the engine. Fuel leakage could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel line connectors.
