Description
Bombardier brand Model Year 2006 Outlander 650 and 800 ATVs and Some Can-Am brand Model Year 2007 Outlander 650 ATVs. Serial numbers are located on the front of the ATV on the identification decal. The ATVs were available in yellow, green, red, and camouflage.
Hazard
The operator could ride with their foot engaging the rear brake without noticing. This can cause the rear brake to overheat and, possibly, ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy
Consumers should pay close attention when operating and be careful not to accidentally engage the rear brake with their foot. Consumers should immediately contact their local Bombardier or Can-Am ATV dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. Consumers with the recalled ATVs are being sent direct notices from BRP.
Incidents and injuries
BRP has received eight reports of fires caused by the rear brake overheating and igniting. The fires only involved property damage to the ATVs. No injuries have been reported.
