I have a 2011 Polaris Sportsman 850xp ATV. It is 4 months old with 20 hours of riding time. I have found that with normal riding, oil will be pushed out of the engine into the air box. If not cleaned up it will fill the air box and could end up on the hot engine causing a fire.

I was riding my 2019 CanAm Outlander XT 1000 up in the Fish Lake National Forest Utah .These are ATV trails that run all through that area. It was over a period of several days. Starting on July 14th 2020. After the first few hours I notice extreme heat coming from the left side where the engine cover is. It became so bad that my leg starting getting very red, I had no choice but ride since we were way out in the wilderness from our camp.By the end of the day my leg had small blisters that were very painful. No matter where I put my leg I could not get away from the heat.I took pictures.The second problem I had was the burning and melting of a left rear shock part called a bump stop, this keeps the shock from bottoming out internally so not to damage it. Now that the bump stop is melted there is nothing to keep the shock from damage. This could lead to a shock failure and the possible loss of control. No stock ATV should be melting any part. the exhaust runs way to close to the shock with no type of shielding .I have since done some research on the internet and found that this is a problem on most BRP Can Am ATV's going back years. I have also took pictures of this

I was driving a 1996 Polaris Magnum 6 x 6 ATV making a turn when the throttle cable would not go back into normal operation in throttle mode after pressing the throttle half way open. Basically I released the gas in a turn and the unit did not release back to throttle mode. With both hands locked on the brakes the unit was still moving quickly. I was within 10 feet of going over a 15 - 20 foot embankment into a rocky area at the lake. I reached over, took a chance and turned the key off. The unit stopped. I purchased the unit new in 1997; it has 775 miles on it. I filed a complaint with Polaris in 1998 about a carburetor issue that it would not idle properly; the problem was not corrected. It is interesting after reviewing your site Polaris did a recall in August 2000 about the sticking throttle cable issues on other units. It would be interesting to see if these units they recalled had the same "Polaris Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)" systems as my 1996 unit. My paths crossed with a Polaris employee, as I described what happened to me,the person was not surprised and stated that early year machines were basically a piece of "Junk" until later years in 2000. I was fortunate my teenage son was not on the unit because he would not have known to turn the key off.

I had just bought a 2024 Can-Am defender 6x6 limited on a Tuesday evening, by that Wednesday evening after not even having for 24hours I drove it down to my mail box down a hard packed snow road. Right before I got to my mailbox the battery light came on and the voltage was reading 10.1. When I was backing away from my mailbox the voltage had dropped to 9.4 and the machine cut off. After trying to restart it a couple time and was not getting anything I got out and noticed a fire under the bed on the passenger side right behind the cab. I contacted my dealer and we submitted an investigation to BRP and after 2 weeks they said it is not a manufacture defect. After that I got to doing some searching and have found out that, that is where the voltage regulator is located and there has been quite a few people that have had them start smoking after only driving the machine for a short time. Luckily I was the only one in the machine and did not get injured, but was out of breath after running to a neighbors house to get a fire extinguisher to try and put it out

The consumer says he drove the ATV from the barn area up to his house, which is about 400 feet distance. He turned it off and went into the house. He got in the shower, when his brother told him that the ATV was on fire. He says the unit was on fire ten feet from his house. He said only 10 minutes had passed from him turning it off and the fire occurring. The flames where ten feet high. The consumer says the fire melted some of his windows. he says there was no indication that something was wrong with it. He went online and noticed reports of similar incidences with this brand.
