Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231023-248CE-2147344497. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Matched catalog product: Can-Am Can-Am Defender Max X MR HD10. Source model text: Can Am Defender. Incident: I was using the 2023 Can Am Defender HD9 we had just bought in April of 2023. It had less than 16 hrs. on it. I was clearing road ways along the property lines. I heard a noise that sounded like pressure being released, like a line blowing. When I looked behind me there were flames coming up around the sides of the bed and from between the bed and cab. I put the UTV in park and jumped off. Only injuries would be from exhaustion and shortness of breath from trying to contain the fire until the fire department could get on scene.
