Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2008 atv 4x4 Yamaha grizzly 700. This is the second time the gas boils, it's extremely scary sight. It releases the gas fumes while riding infront of the driver inhaling all the fumes all day. I had a headache the rest of the day after riding. I stop when I heard bubbling sounds coming from the gas tank and when I tried to open the tank the fumes were rushing out couldn't take off cap till all the fumes were gone. Once cap was off you could see the gas boiling!!!!!!! Here are some videos of other grizzly riders that their gas boils too! …”
