Just wanted to share my findings today....While inspecting my 2013 XT for this Fire Hazard recall, I pop the center console panel and drivers side panel off to find this....
The machine has 99.7 hours on it, and my dealer performed the 10 hour break-in maintenance back in January. I was assured that the tech that did the work was reliable and had torqued all the bolts back to spec after checking valves, and this must have vibrated loose. I'm being told that this is a common occurrence with the Commander. I did have my CEL come on a few times, but the oil level was within operational range. The dealer will be taking pictures and submitting this to CanAm for warranty repair. There's no telling how much dirt/grime/sand/water got inside the motor. Anyone else ever had this issue or heard of it? I'm pissed.
