Gravely Atlas JSV 3000 / 6000 fire and burn hazard from cracked exhaust headers (CPSC 2018 Recall Alert)

## Affected machines All **MY2015-2018 Gravely Atlas JSV 3000 and JSV 6000** gas-engine-powered utility vehicles. The recalled UTVs were sold in **red** and have one or two rows of seats and a rear box. - "**Gravely**" is printed on the rear box. - "**Atlas**" is printed on the hood. - The model and serial number are on the **driver's side** and visible from the front wheel well. ### Affected Atlas JSV scope | Model | Production window | |---|---| | Atlas JSV 3000 (2-seat) | MY2015-2018 | | Atlas JSV 6000 (4-seat / Crew) | MY2015-2018 | The CPSC notice published specific serial-number ranges; consumers should match by serial number, not by model alone. ## Issue The **exhaust system header pipe can crack**, causing exhaust gases to escape near hot engine surfaces and combustible components. This poses fire and burn hazards. Reported field incidents at recall time: - 7 reports of cracked header exhaust pipes - 0 injuries ## What to do 1. Find your model and serial number on the driver's side of the UTV (visible from the front wheel well). 2. **If the exhaust system becomes noisier than normal during operation, stop using the UTV immediately** — that may indicate the header has cracked. 3. Contact an authorized Gravely dealer for a free repair. Gravely was contacting all known purchasers directly at recall time. 4. Call Gravely customer service at (877) 740-7060 Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ET, or visit https://www.gravely.com and click the Product Support link, then Product Safety Recall. ## Hazard Severity is rated **critical** because of the fire and burn risk from cracked exhaust headers on a hot engine. ## Related bulletins The Atlas JSV is a **Polaris-built UTV** distributed by AriensCo under the Gravely brand. The Atlas JSV product family has had multiple distinct recalls across model years and SKUs: | Bulletin | Recall | Atlas JSV scope | |---|---|---| | **TNB02600067** | This bulletin (CPSC 2018) | JSV 3000 / 6000, MY2015-2018, cracked headers | | **TNB02600068** | CPSC 2021 + 2023 (combined) | JSV 3200 / 3400 / 6400, MY2020-2023, fuel-system family | Owners of any Atlas JSV should check both bulletins; the affected SKUs do not overlap (JSV 3000/6000 retired before JSV 3200/3400/6400 launched), but the production windows are adjacent. The **Polaris-side** sibling bulletins for the related Polaris Ranger / ProXD recalls and the **Bobcat-side** sibling for the Bobcat UV34 cousins are not currently in the TractorNuity library; if those brands are added, the related bulletins should be created (they share the same Polaris-built fuel-system defect family with Atlas JSV). ## Source - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, "Polaris Recalls Gravely Utility Vehicles Due To Fire and Burn Hazards (Recall Alert)," 2018. - Manufactured by Polaris Industries Inc., of Medina, Minn. - Distributed by Gravely Company (AriensCo), of Brillion, Wis. - Gravely product safety recall page: https://www.gravely.com
