NHTSA Complaint #10482542 — 2002 YAMAHA YFM660

I HAVE A 2002 YAMAHA GRIZZLY 660 ATV. WHILE ON A TRAIL RIDE IN AUGUST 2012, I OPENED THE FUEL CAP AND NOTICED THE FUEL WAS BOILING IN THE FUEL TANK. AT THE TIME, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS HOT FROM NORMAL OPERATION. SUBSEQUENTLY, I CALLED THE PEORIA YAMAHA DEALER, THEY REFERENCED MY VIN NUMBER, AND SAID THERE WAS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SHOWED ME HIS RECALL LETTER FOR THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ATV. THE LETTER INDICATED A "HEAT KIT" HAD BEEN DESIGNED BY YAMAHA FOR THE 2002 AND 2003 GRIZZLY 660 AND WILL BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND THERE WAS REPAIR KIT AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FUEL BOILING IN THE GAS TANK OF MY ATV! *TR
