When owners complained

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

THE POOR DESIGN OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ROUTES THE HEADER PAST PLASTIC AND YOUR ANKLE AREA. MY EXHAUST HAS, SEVERAL TIMES, HEATED UP TO CHERRY RED. THE LAST TIME IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED THE PLASTIC AND BURNED MY BOOT (MY BODILY DAMAGE TO PERSONS). POLARIS REFUSES TO ADMIT A PROBLEM. THE HEAT IS SO GREAT WHEN RIDING IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT IN THE WHEEL WELL ON THE FOOT REST MAKING THIS MACHINE A FIRE HAZARD IN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL FORESTS AS WELL AS A HAZARD TO BEING BURNED OR LOOSING YOUR MACHINE TO FIRE. POLARIS IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE MUFFLER IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM GLOWS RED AS A CHARCOAL BRIQUET UNDER ALL OPERATIONAL SPEEDS. THIS PRODUCES VERY EXCESSIVE HEAT AND RENDERS THE PLASTIC ABOVE THE REAR FENDER WELL UNTOUCHABLE. THE USFS APPROVED HEAT SHIELD IS VERY FLIMSY AND AT ONE POINT A TWIG GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE SHIELD AND THE MUFFLER AND WAS BURNING. WE JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE STOPPED ON THE TRAIL AND SMELLED THE FAMILIAR CAMPFIRE SMELL AND PULLED THE TWIG AWAY BEFORE IT CAUGHT THE DRY LEAVES ON FIRE. THIS IS AN OFFROAD VEHICLE AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY LIKE POLARIS WOULD MANUFACTURE AN ATV WITH THIS KIND OF ISSUE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT OR COMPLAINT AS THE ONLINE "POLARIS ATV FORUMS" WEBSITE IS COVERED UP WITH THREADS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

WHEN I RIDE THIS BRAND NEW SPORTSMAN XP 1000 THE EXHAUST SYSTEM GETS GLOWING RED HOT, PLASTIC FENDERS NEAR THE EXHAUST ARE UNTOUCHABLE, REAR TIRE IS EXTREMELY HOT, AND SOME GRASS THAT WAS THROWN ONTO THE EXHAUST CAUGHT FIRE. THIS IS A TWO WEEK OLD ATV WITH 13 MILES ON IT. I AM NOT RIDING THIS MACHINE HARD. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE MACHINE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AT A MINIMAL RPM. POLARIS SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BREAK IN OCCURRENCES. THESE MACHINES WILL CATCH AN OWNER'S PROPERTY ON FIRE AND/OR HURT SOMEONE SUBSTANTIALLY IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

STRUCTURE:BODY

EXHAUST BECOMES RED HOT ONLY AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES OF RIDING. THE EXHAUST MUFFLER IS VERY CLOSE TO THE PLASTIC FENDER AND RIGHT REAR TIRE. BECAUSE IT GETS SO HOT AND SITS SO CLOSE TO THE REAR TIRE I FEAR THAT THERE WILL BE A FIRE. IN FACT, I HAVE NOTICED LEAVES AND GRASS CATCH FIRE FROM NORMAL RIDING BUT THEY BURNED OFF WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC GETS SO HOT IT WILL SOFTEN AND BEND EASILY TO THE TOUCH. THE STICK ON HEAT SHIELD UNDER THE FENDER GETS SO HOT, IT LOST ITS STICKYNESS AND IS NOW FALLING OFF. IT ALSO GOT SO HOT THAT THE ALUMINUM HEAT SHIELD AROUND THE EXHAUST IS COMING APART AT THE FACTORY CRIMP POINTS.
