Good info, I wonder why they did a second recall? I moved this to the Can Am section instead of World Class since they aren't a Can Am dealer

Wonder if they add a fan like Yamaha did on the Rhino. As far as I know, the Rhino has always had that fan to blow debris off the manifold and exhaust. Many of us removed it because it would cause it to bog down in watercrossings since it was run off the crank.
