re: The board’s thoughts on Can-am

I had a can am maverick 1000 that spontaneously burst into flames. I brought the completely burned and melted cage (all that was left) to a dealer and can am flew a guy down to investigate. Nothing came of it, but they did ultimately put some verbiage in the manual that said something like, if you ride in high water with debris in it, you should remove the plastics around the exhaust and clean it out. Apparently this situation has a bad habit of collecting floating sticks and leaves and impacting them around the exhaust that is right behind the seats. Once it dries and you heat up the exhaust, it will catch fire.
They did nothing for us other than say sorry and change the wording in the manual going forward.
Maybe that is on me, maybe not, but I won’t be buying another machine that has a standard practice of making you remove the seats and most of the plastics on a regular basis.

That’s crazy. I can’t believe they didn’t offer some kind of compensation, even if small.
I won’t be going in high water with whatever atv I get. Mostly for work around the house and some play but not going to sink it.

My buddies dad bought a commander 1000 when they first came out. It was only two weeks old and had only been driven around the yard, caught on fire from grass thatch on the exhaust. Luckily the front door was open when it happened so we saw it light up and put it out.

Did you have insurance on it?
