About 14,100 Arctic Cat recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) are being recalled because heat from the exhaust can melt plastic panels behind the seats, creating a fire hazard. This recall includes all 2014-2017 Wildcat Trail and 2015-2017 Wildcat Sport models. The company has received 444 reports of melting panels, including five incidents that resulted in fires. These vehicles were sold at Arctic Cat dealers nationwide from December 2013 through August 2017 for between $10,500 and $19,500.
Heat from the exhaust system can cause the plastic panels behind the operator and passenger seats to melt. If this occurs, the melting plastic can ignite, posing a fire hazard to the occupants and the vehicle.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact Arctic Cat to schedule a free repair. Arctic Cat is contacting all known purchasers directly. If you need assistance locating an authorized dealer to conduct this repair, contact Arctic Cat.
