Consumer Description

I WAS OUT FOR A RIDE AND NOTICED THE HEAT ON MY THIGH AND LEG I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY APPLIED A THIN STRIP OF HEAT TAPE UNDER GLOVE BOX. SO ON JUNE 10TH I NOTICED IT WAS GETTING EVEN HOTTER SO I GOT A THERMOSTAT AND PUT IN GLOVE BOX AND RODE OVER TO THE DEALER, A 20 MINUTE RIDE, THE THERMOSTAT REGISTERED 155 THIS AREA WAS SO HOT IT MELTED MY SEAT AND BURN MY THIGH. SO ON JUNE 23RD I LEFT IT AT DEALERS AND BRP INFORMED THEM TO APPLY MORE HEAT TAPE AND REPLACE THE SEAT,WHICH WAS DONE. I PICKED IT UP ON JULY 9 THE AND RODE IT HOME AND GOT BURNED AND IT REGISTERED 150 AFTER A 20 MINUTE RIDE AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS MID 70'S. SEEMS LIKE HEAT LIKE THAT OVER A GAS TANK IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE BEFORE SOMEONE GET BLOWN UP. BRP HAS NO ANSWERS FOR US, PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY NOT AND SAVE US FROM INJURIES. *TR
