The product, in the report: The product is a 2026 CFMOTO CFORCE 1000 Overland all-terrain vehicle purchased new from Grapevine Powersports. [REDACTED] Exterior color Forest Green This is a full-size two-passenger gasoline-powered recreational and utility ATV. It is designed for off-road riding, transportation on private property, hauling equipment, and towing. The vehicle is approximately 92 inches long, 50 inches wide, and 53 inches high. It has a 58-inch wheelbase and 11.8 inches of ground clearance. Its approximate dry weight is 975 pounds. It has a 963 cc liquid-cooled fuel-injected V-twin gasoline engine producing approximately 84 horsepower. It has an automatic transmission with high range, low range, and reverse. It also has selectable two wheel drive and four wheel drive with a front differential lock. The ATV has 27-inch CST tires mounted on 14-inch aluminum wheels. It also has hydraulic disc brakes, independent front and rear suspension, front and rear cargo racks, rear storage, a receiver hitch, LED lighting, a windshield, and seating for two people. The fuel capacity is approximately 6.9 gallons. The rated towing capacity is approximately 1800 pounds. This unit was one of three matching CFMOTO CFORCE 1000 Overland ATVs purchased at the same time. It was recently purchased, had not been modified, and was being operated normally for recreational use on private property when the fire occurred.

On September 6, 2026, at approximately 2:39 p.m., my son was operating a recently purchased 2026 CFMOTO CFORCE 1000 Overland on private property in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The ATV was being operated normally and in the same manner as the other two identical ATVs purchased at the same time from Grapevine Powersports. While the vehicle was in motion, witnesses noticed flames coming from the rear section and immediately alerted my son. He was able to stop the ATV and get off safely before the fire spread.
No one was injured. However, the ATV sustained extensive fire damage. We have photographs and videos documenting the incident, the fire, and the resulting damage.
The ATV had been purchased only recently and had not been modified or misused. We are requesting a complete investigation to determine the cause of the fire and appropriate resolution of this claim.

On 07/19/2026 I was out riding my 2021 CFMOTO CFORCE 800xc with friends. The electronic power steering (eps) began to start making an electronic grinding noise when turning. Shortly after the eps had failed it force my handle and wheels to the right and caused the atv to tip on its left side causing me to fly off and sustain injuries to my forearm and shin. The injuries included being scratched on my forearm and shin.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/4/2023) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CFMOTO has sold its brand ATVs and ROHVs in the United States for approximately 16 years. Over that period of time CFMOTO has established a proven track record of safety and quality for its off-road vehicles. CFMOTO provides a comprehensive one-year limited warranty for all its ATV and ROHV vehicles. Each CFMOTO vehicle sold to a consumer goes through a detailed predelivery inspection process at the dealer level before it can be delivered to the purchaser. Not only is the vehicle tested as part of predelivery, but the customer is trained on the use and specifics of the purchased vehicle before he/she leaves the dealer. If a customer experiences any type of malfunction with his/her ATV they need to take the vehicle in for an inspection and service as soon as possible to one of approximately 550 authorized CFMOTO dealers located across the U.S.
In this case, the customer states that he was driving a CFORCE 800 XC and dragging a horse arena with the ATV when the steering locked up. The customer attempted to diagnose and repair the vehicle and should have instead brought the ATV to a dealer for inspection, proper diagnosis and service as soon as possible after the steering locked up on him. User safety is always CFMOTO’s number one concern, but without an inspection of the vehicle at the dealer level it is not possible to determine if the vehicle systems were affected from dragging a horse arena or if simply a fuse failure occurred based on vehicle age and use. Therefore, the customer is encouraged to bring the vehicle into an authorized CFMOTO dealer as soon as possible for a full vehicle inspection and diagnosis of any potential mechanical issues. CFMOTO will be happy to answer any questions that the dealer may have and assist the dealer and customer with any reasonable request to remedy the problem. CFMOTO’s service department will also contact the customer directly based on the information submitted with this report. The vehicle at issue looks to have been in service for approximately two years and is not subject to any recalls, based on the VIN submitted by the customer with the report.

Our ATV was in our back yard . we were inside getting ready for bed . Our daughter heard a loud bang from the back yard that frightened her as our dogs were outside as well . We opened the back door to find our ATV engulfed in flames . We re very thankful no one was on it at the time .The ATV had not been running for 2 months . We had the cylanoid replaced in November of ‘22 . It ran for 1 day for an hour or so , then wouldn’t crank again . We replaced the battery on 04/20/23 . Still would not crank . We had made plans to return it to the shop for further evaluation and repairs . What do we do with this ? Something caused the ATV to explode . The fire department is doing no further investigation as there is no insurance claim to file . How do we find out what caused this and make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else , possibly with injuries ?

The product, in the report: 2020 CFMoto CForce 600 Touring ATV - 4 wheeler

The 2020 CFMoto CForce 600 Touring ATV was being driven down a dirt road roughly going 25 MPH with a single driver. On a straight portion of the road, in anticipation of going around a blind curve up ahead, the ATV foot pedal was pressed with slight pressure to slow the ATV down. Instead of applying an equal amount of gentle stopping force, the ATVs rear wheels locked up causing the ATV’s rear wheels to lose traction and it began to slid sideways. The front wheels then found traction which caused the ATV to roll, throwing me from it. I was not expecting such an abrupt stop from the slight pressure applied to the brake. If I had firmly or even moderately pressed the brake pedal hard, I would expect the rear wheels to lock up. This was not the case and resulted in an accident and injury.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/26/2020) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CORRECTED COMMENT BY CFMOTO. CFMOTO has reviewed incident Report No. 20200804-7E2AA-2147370692. It has conducted an internal review of the type of incident described in the report and has not been able to identify any similarly reported incidents involving the CFMOTO CFORCE 600 Touring ATV. What CFMOTO believes happened in the case at bar is that the consumer pressed the brake, stopping the rear wheels, and as a result of travelling around a curve went into a rear skid or slide. Because the tires on the ATV have high off-road traction capability, the tires gained traction while the vehicle was sliding sideways and caused the ATV to roll on its side. The brake systems on all CFMOTO ATVs are calibrated in a manner that will not cause them to lock up under light pressure to the brake pedal. The brake systems installed on CFMOTO ATVs are tested by independent third parties and at the factory as part of quality control procedures for compliance with CPSC regulations and applicable ANSI/SVIA standards. There is no way for CFMOTO to verify whether the consumer applied “slight pressure” to the brake or significant pressure to lock up the rear brakes. Every CFMOTO vehicle model is going to have different handling characteristics (including brake feel) and it is important to become familiar with the vehicle and complete a driver education class offered by CFMOTO dealers. It is easier for any vehicle to lose traction on a loose surface like dirt, especially if the vehicle is traveling around a blind curve. At low speed, pressing the brake on the 2020 CFORCE 600 Touring ATV causes the front to dive slightly, indicating a brake system biased to the front wheels. At 20-25 mph, pressing the brakes firmly on the ATV will lock the rear wheels as the vehicle comes to a stop. The front wheels will not lock, but you would not want them to lock from a handling and safety standpoint. The 2020 CFORCE 600 Touring does not take as much force on the brake pedal to stop the wheels as some other earlier model vehicles, but again every vehicle has its own characteristics. The consumer must be familiar with the vehicle he/she is operating as well as being mindful that different riding surfaces and speeds can produce different vehicle handling and traction responses.
