Caller reported that he was out riding the ATV about 10 mph the handle bars jerked violently as a result of the power steering. on a training course, he stated that he had just driven out of a mud puddle, the ATV started jerking violently and he lost control of it. Fortunately because of the speed he was going he was able to slam on the brakes which halted this incident. There were no injuries sustained by this incident, however, had he been going much faster this would have caused serious injuries. He stated that he loaded the ATV on a truck and brought it to the dealer. (9/9/19) The manufacturer was contacted and he was advised that the ATV was out of warranty and could not assist in that manner, however, they informed him that they maybe able to assist partially if they find a defect but it is not guaranteed. Caller stated that he is concerned that this ATV has a manufacturer defect and is a safety hazard to consumers.

I've ridden Honda Recon ATV's for over 20 years. My latest vehicle is a 2017 Recon. It has a lever to depress to go into reverse. The previous models had a button to push. In March of this year, my finger got caught under the lever and it sliced me. This was under pretty normal operating conditions. Several days ago the same thing happened. I contacted Honda both times, and they are unresponsive. The reverse lever has a relatively sharp metal edge that contacts the metal brake lever. It's so sharp that it has bitten a crevice into the brake lever. I can't imagine I'm the only person with this issue. I have photos if there's a place later in this report to include them.

The dealer stated that the driver came home and parked the ATV on his driveway. The driver turned off the engine and about 10 minutes later, he noticed smoke and flames coming from the rear of the ATV. The dealer stated that within 45 seconds, the ATV had engulfed in flames. The driver had driven the ATV on the day of the incident for 30 miles. The dealer and the driver believe that the incident occurred due to the unshielded exhaust. The dealer stated that the unshielded exhaust caused the rear floor panels to melt, lower down, and ignite. The dealer stated that he spoke to the manf regarding this incident. The manf informed the dealer that they were aware of the problem and that all of the newer models were being sent out with a repair kit. The dealer was also sent a repair kit for another model he has in hsi shop. The dealer stated that the kit includes a whole new exhaust system that is shielded. The dealer stated that he has the leftover metal frame of the ATV that ignited. There are no recalls on this vehicle.

2005 Polaris Sportsman ATV ECM caught fire.

Date: 9/23/18 The submitter had the unit on drive and he was pulling out of his driveway when he noticed the check engine light came on. He then claims the power steering stopped working. He drove the unit back in the garage. He contacted the firm today and reported the issue. They checked his VIN and advised him that his unit was not recalled. However, he noticed a recall for similar units having the same issue and he believes his unit should be included in recall # 12-709. No prior incident. He uses the unit once every 2 months

A 12 y/o WM was operating a Yamaha ATV. He traveled from a private driveway onto a dirct country roadway. As he entered the dirt road he ran directly into the path of an oncoming pickup-truck. The ATV and pickup collided. The decedent was thrown from the ATV and landed on the roadway. He was not wearing a helmet. EMS personnel transpoted the decedent to an early hospital. He was then airlifted to another hospital in Savannah, GA where he died a short time later.

I am the original owner of a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 500 which I purchased new in 2007. After riding my atv on August 18 2012 I noticed the exhaust was hot against my leg. The next day I had removed the seat to check and clean the air intake filter. When I removed the seat the support legs for the seat had melted due to excessive heat from the exhaust pipe running directly under the frame that the seat sits on.Fortunately I was not burned and the atv did not catch on fire. I contacted Polaris Industries and made them aware of the fire and burn risk and the instructed me to return the seat to the dealer to file a warranty claim and have them photograph the seat despite knowing the warranty expired 6 months after purchase.As expected they refused to fix the problem citing the warranty had expired. I was made aware by the dealer that Polaris has been aware of the the problem and manufactures a heat shield kit and has done so since long before my model year.Note should also be made that my atv has only 84 hours on it in 5 years. I feel the CPSC should consider this I high risk concern due to the possibility of severe burns to riders and or fires. Warning should be posted and owner should be made aware of the risk of structure fire if a Polaris atv is parked in a structure after it has been ridden. My hope is theat the CPSC can require Polaris to recall all involved atv and install the heat shield to protect the consumer.

Caller stated that he is experiencing similar problems of recall#18-750 Hazard:Fuel can spray from the fuel tank when opening the gas cap, posing a fuel leak and fire hazard. He stated that he had used the ATV a few times before the incident. Caller stated that he took the ATV to the dealer and was advised that it had received the recall remedy. He stated that they did not informed when the action was performed. Caller feels that this ATV poses a fire hazard and should be reported.
