WASHINGTON, March 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of American Suzuki Motor Corp. ATVs due to a fire hazard.

About 29,000 Suzuki KingQuad ATVs were sold nationwide from July 2007 through February 2011 for between $6,600 and $9,500.

Some of the all-terrain vehicles' plastic fuel tanks were made improperly and can develop leaks, the commission said in a statement.

The recall involves all 2008-2010 LT-A450X model Suzuki KingQuad ATVs. It also includes all 2009-2010 LT-A500X, 2008-2010 LT-A750X, and 2011 LT-A500X and LT-A750X models made before Dec. 11, 2010.

Consumers were advised to stop using the recalled ATVs and contact a Suzuki ATV dealer to schedule a free repair.

Consumers can call Suzuki at 800-444-5077 for information.
