On certain side-by-side UTVs equipped with a factory-installed winch kit or certain accessory/dealer installed winch kits, moisture could enter the housing of the winch solenoid. This could result in the winch solenoid overheating, which could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the solenoid in the winch assembly with a solenoid from a different supplier. Note: The affected winch kit part numbers are: #2436-105 for the cable winch and #2436-106 for the rope winch.

On certain side-by-side UTVs, the splash panels located behind the driver and passenger seats could melt, potentially resulting in a fire. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the plastic splash panels behind both the operator and passenger seat with revised ones with added heat reflective material, as well as replace the current aluminium exhaust head pipe shield with a new stainless steel head pipe shield equipped with a better insulator material. Additionally, dealers will ensure the spark plug caps are properly and fully inserted into the engine. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the defect has been repaired.
