There was a recall for these. Was your recall done? If you call the Arctic Cat dealership with your vin I believe they can look it up and see if it was. We had to have our '14 trail's recall done as we bought it in '21 and it did the same thing.
Plastic melted behind passengers seat, caught fire
2015, 700 wildcat limited edition (blacked out), seen and hole behind passengers seat melting in. Replaced the heat shield as it was making a noise also. Was on a few rides and bike worked great with no issue. Wife and I went for a drive, going very slow just enjoying the woods when bike shut down. When I looked at my wife who was sitting in passengers seat there was flames coming from behind her seat. After reading a few comments on this and seeing that it is an issue. Has anyone seen a fix to the problem. I am going to cut the bad piece out and build new out of fibreglass and put new heat tape on the whole thing
