2008 Polaris RANGER RZR Fuel System, Gasoline Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	875003
Internal NHTSA #	10419028
Manufacurer	POLARIS INDUSTRIES, INC.
Brand	POLARIS
Model	RANGER RZR
Model Year	2008
File date	25/07/11
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Poor design of fuel tank/fuel pump connection will cause fuel leak, only a matter of time. Consequence - possible fuel fire, explosion! Fuel tank has brass inserts in blind holes to accommodate fastening of fuel pump with o-ring seal between fuel pump and fuel tank. Good idea but very bad and dangerous design. These brass inserts will loosen in blind hole of fuel tank and cause a leak due to lack of compression of o-ring. Don't know exact reason for loosening, possibly expansion/contraction from temperature changes, low to high elevation changes or just plain old vibration and fatigue. Whatever the cause, this is a very serious safety hazard, extremely dangerous to life and health, not to mention monetary loss due to property damage and destruction of vehicle. I asked a local polaris dealer about this problem and all they wanted to do was sell me a new fuel tank/fuel pump assembly, polaris industries answer/solution wasn't any better. Polaris industries needs to step up to the plate and offer a recall/repair of this defect before someone is injured or killed. Shouldn't try to deceive people or piss off old people who have time on their hands to expose the truth.
