Polaris Industries recalled another 26,760 off-road vehicles this week, bringing recall totals over the 400,000 mark in the past two and a half years.

The recall on Wednesday involved 25,600 Polaris Sportsman 570 all-terrain vehicles issued under model year 2014. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Polaris received 30 reports from customers about fuel leaking into headlights and four reports about fires.

No injuries were reported.

The affected Sportsman vehicles were sold from April 2014 through May 2017 for $6,500 and $7,700.

On Tuesday, Polaris recalled 1,160 of its 2017 off-road "RZR 570" models (including the "RZR S 570" and RZR EPS 570 units).

Polaris recalled the $8,500 RZRs after its enhanced inspection process discovered that the front brake can detach, posing crash and injury hazards, the company said.

No injuries were reported.

Polaris reports quarterly earnings Thursday morning.
