On certain ATVs, the right side panel heat shield can melt. In addition, for the 2015 Sportsman 1000 models, the exhaust springs can stretch and damage the exhaust seal, which can result in exhaust leaks. Both of these conditions could pose burn and fire hazards causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new side right hand side panel, and for the 2015 Sportsman 1000 models, dealers will inspect the exhaust springs, and replace as necessary.
