The Bobcat 3400XL is being recalled as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

Last month Bobcat issued a recall of the gas powered Bobcat 3400<\/a> and 3400XL<\/a> UTVs for model years 2015 through 2018. The vehicle’s exhaust header pipe can crack and create potential burn and fire hazards. Owners have not reported any injuries or fires related to this recall, which involves approximately 2,700 units. The 3400 model is a two-seater and the 3400XL is a four-seater. Polaris manufactured both models for Bobcat under a partnership the companies formed several years ago to develop UTVs for commercial markets. If you have an affected model you should contact your local Bobcat dealer. The following recall information is from the Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n
