WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Textron Specialized Vehicles of Augusta, Georgia, is recalling an off-road vehicle due to a fire hazard. The company is also advising owners to take precautions until the vehicles are fixed.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the recall is for Tracker Off Road OX EV vehicles. According to the CPSC website, water can get into the lithium-ion battery pack, creating a fire risk, but this has not happened yet.

Until the problem is fixed, Textron Specialized Vehicles says owners should not charge the recalled vehicle and should park it outdoors at least 15 feet away from buildings or other vehicles.
