Textron Specialized Vehicles is recalling about 300 2017 Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail SE and Wildcat Sport SE Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), as well as approximately 3,000 winch accessory kits sold separately. A component called a winch solenoid, located under the operator's seat, can overheat and catch fire. There have been 49 reports of solenoid failure, with five of those resulting in fires. Consumers should immediately stop using vehicles equipped with these solenoids and contact an Arctic Cat dealer for a free repair.
The winch solenoid can overheat during use, which creates a significant risk of the vehicle catching fire while the operator is seated directly above the component. Five fires have already been reported due to this defect.
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.
