All these vehicles have optional USB charging ports that overheat and ignite adjacent components creating a fire hazard. About 143,000 vehicles were sold in the US, 8,100 were sold in Canada, and about 1,000 were sold in Mexico. FYI: some of these PTVs had been previously recalled in September 2021, January 2022 and September 2022. Stop riding these PTVs, put the key switch in the OFF position, and do not attempt to charge these vehicles. Contact Textron at 1-888-525-6040 or via email at [email protected] to arrange for a free inspection and repair. The dealer will install a fiberglass/aluminum thermal insulation protective sleeve over the USB charge port module.
