  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 11, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 12, 2011

    The product, in the report: 2004 Outlander 400 ATV

    The consumer says as he was riding the ATV, the voltage regulator keeps charging the battery. The battery expands like it is going to explode. The consumer says the battery leaks acid out on the roads. After he turns the ATV off, the battery hums for about 15 minutes while it is off. The consumer says he fears he may burn himself with the battery acid. There is also a sulphur scent that the battery gives off. The consumer fears someone will be hurt by this. He says the same thing happened to his brother, almost a year prior to his incident. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who gave him a case [REDACTED] and was told that there is no need for a recall, they put out a bulletin at the dealerships but did not notify the customers directly. The consumer feels there is a chance that a battery could explode on somebody. The consumer says he rides slow and does not go as fast as other people. The consumer says it only has 1,408 miles on it and 88 hours. The consumer says the rep with the dealer did mention that most ATV riders work on their own vehicles making it difficult for customers to be aware of the [Warranty and Service Bulletins] at the dealer. The consumer says the voltage regulator is causing the problem but the safety concern is the battery.
