The product, in the report: 2011 Polaris Ranger ATV (utility vehicle)
Caller’s wife & 14 yr old daughter were riding on 2011 ATV Saturday evening June 23rd, 2012 for the entire day. This ATV has one seat for three persons and a seat belt for each.
They rode pretty much all day, the 14yr old complained that her portion of the seat felt very hot, she obtained a towel and put it over where she was sitting.
At the end of the day she was complaining about her leg was aching but when her mother looked at it she discovered that her posterior was burned on the right side and had blistered.
Child was not taken to the hospital because caller has a friend who is a registered nurse, looked at the burned area and advised caller that the burn is at 3rd degree level and then gave him and his wife a burn cream. She stated that the hospital uses this same cream “[REDACTED]” on burn victims.
Caller has not contacted manufacturer but did contact the dealer who advised him that are familiar with this happening on other occasions He does plan to contact the manufacturer.
He would like to see the seat replaced at manufacturer expense due to there being bubbles in it from the heat.
