MY ISSUE IS WITH 2013 CANAM SPYDER. AFTER ENGINE REACHES NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THE AREA AROUND THE DRIVERS LEGS ARE EXPOSED TO 208 DEGREES F. THIS DATA WAS COLLECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP INJACKSONVILLE. THE CONTINUED EXPOSURE TO THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED FIRST DEGREE BURNS ON MY WIFE'S LEGS. EVEN WHEN WARING THICK BLUE JEANS, EXTENDED RUN TIMES BURNT HER LEG TOO. THE COMPANY HAS APPARENTLY CORRECTED THIS ISSUE IN 2014. THEY HAVE RE ROUTED HOT AIR WITH DIFFERENT PANELS, REVERSING THE FAN AT SLOW SPEED AND STOP AND BETTER INSULATION. OBVIOUSLY, BRP KNOWS THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM. IT TOOK ME AND MY SERVICE TO BOTH FILE COMPLAINTS. HOWEVER, BRP AS OF TODAY WILL EXCHANGE OUT MY PANELS TO THE NEW REDESIGNED PANEL. A $600 PER SIDE MODIFICATION. ALSO, BE WARE, AFTER A LONG RUN ADDING GAS IS SCARY, IT'S A VERY HOT ENVIRONMENT AND THE DRIVER IS SPURTING GAS ON IT? *TR
