ECM Modules (RECALL)
RE ECM fire
I have only heard rumors. Recall notice says there is a CHANCE of fire caused by overheated ECM. Dealer seems to feel it is an overblown issue and said just keep using the quad but follow instructions of notice: disconnect NEGATIVE battery terminal when quad is not in use or is unattended. They say they will have replacement part . . . eventually.
I installed battery cutout switch with key. Disconnects battery and provides a little additional theft protection.

Hey Bob thanks for the post. Hey Caper, none of yours caught fire, right?

No fire .........I still think about the up-dated one I put in mine and needed it replaced........That was the real fire hazzard.....The fan was running until the Battery was dead!!......This could have caused a fire in the garage .....It must have run for awhile....something could have overheated and caught fire in no time at all!!
I am on the list for my wife's ECM.....But we were out Sunday and went 65 miles total for the day(yes with the A/C) and ....I am NOT going to let this long wait for the part to stop me from using them!!!......Caper.........
