I would think the dealer would have to do the work...not sure though.

 

I just had a differential seal leak and the dealer gave me the parts free as they were covered under warranty and let me do it myself.

With the ECM, I'd bet with it being a recall as opposed to warranty work, that the dealer would be required to perform the work.

 

the bulleton says they have to test it to see if its a bad one before they dertermine if it needs replacement. they also have to send the old one back. I would say they have to do it unless your dealer REALLY likes you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I got the letter and now the wife can't find it! Good to know though that

my dealer can look it up. Okay you all, did you replace it yourselfs or

can the dealer send you the part? My dealer is 2 and 1/2 hours away.

Please advise, and thanks!

It will depend on your dealer........My dealer e-mailed me on a week-end with advice on what to do to check(he told me it was O.K to swap my two 450's ECM) I wanted to make sure first .................due to the fact I didn't want two bad ECM's if the Quad was damaging them!!!

However, back to your question......My dealer had my VIN #s on file and did send me a replacement by mail...But he needed the old one back first!!!!........So "YES" some may do that for you if you have a GOOD dealer!!!.......Caper..............

 

Cool, I'll keep ya all posted on my
dealer situation. Thanks Caper!

This is the old service bulletin, not the latest.

Downloading the new one, be back shortly

There is no testing involved at all on the new bulletin, just replacement(matter of fact I had to send the tester back to Polaris that they issued years ago) Even if your ecm was tested and passed, they are still probably going to replace it. If you have a model in the vin range and it is the potted ecm and not the unpotted die cast ecm, it will get replaced. Basically, if your machine has 3 different connectors on the ecm, it's gonna get replaced. The newest ones have one large connector, a short harness, and then the three connectors. They are not getting replaced.

Where'd my wheelchair icon go? I liked that one!!!

 

that is excellent info harley. now people can look at it them self and see if it needs to be replaced. then they can print that off to take w/ them to a delaer. that should anwser all the questions now.

 

I did have the new one replaced already..The one with the larger harness and short wiring harness ....The first one is "BLACK" and Made in China.........And if you notice the replacement is "SILVER" and Made in the U.S.A.............Caper...........

 

I got the recall last monday. Went out this morning to do some plowing and my battery was dead. Seams the fan ran even after the ignition was shut off. After i got it charged up i couldnt start it with the starter and had to pull start it. After i got it running the fan was running non stop and the display read-" ENGINE HOT" and "CHECK ENGINE".
I called my dealer and he stated that it sounded like the ECM failed and to get it in as soon as possible. Ofcourse the ECM i need is backordered, dont figure?? Just thought id pass it along.

 

atleast its going to be under warranty lol.
