Polaris Sportsman Mv7: Possible Over Heating Of Electronic Control Module
Recall Summary Polaris is recalling approximately 1,089 ATV models across multiple Sportsman and Scrambler lines due to a defective cooling fan component in the Electronic Control Module (ECM). In most cases, the faulty part will drain the battery and prevent the vehicle from starting, but in rare cases it could cause the ECM to overheat and potentially catch fire. Polaris will replace the affected ECM with a new version that does not contain combustible material.

- Vehicles: POLARIS SPORTSMAN MV7, POLARIS SCRAMBLER ATV, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 700, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 6X6, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 600, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 450, POLARIS SCRAMBLER 500, POLARIS SPORTSMAN 400. Units affected: 1,089
- Reason
- Some ATV models may have been assembled with Electronic Control Modules (ECM) that could contain a defective cooling fan Field Effect Transistor (FET) which affects the ATV's cooking fan system. Should the FET fail in most cases it will drain the vehicle battery and the vehicle will not start. However in extreme circumstances it can cause the ECM to fail and overheat which could cause a fire. Remedy: The manufacturer is to recall all affected vehicles to replace the ECM with a die-cast version which does not contain any combustible material.
