The product, in the report: 2025 CFMOTO ZFORCE 800 trail

recreational off-highway vehicle/side-by-side I purchased a new 2025 CFMOTO ZFORCE 800 Trail from Myers Motorsports in Kane, Pennsylvania, on May 22, 2025. The dealership assembled the vehicle before delivering it to me. The VIN is [REDACTED].
On August 18, 2026, the vehicle caught fire on a public road near railroad tracks, approximately five miles from my residence. It had approximately 500 miles on it. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was completely destroyed, leaving primarily the frame.
During the incident, extremely hot pink liquid entered or sprayed into the passenger cabin and burned through my sons shirt. Fortunately, he did not have redness or a visible injury. I believe the pink liquid may have been coolant or antifreeze, but the exact origin and cause of the fire have not yet been independently determined.
I notified Myers Motorsports about the incident. I was told that because I did not have insurance or an extended warranty, the dealership could not do anything. I am reporting this incident because a low-mileage vehicle was destroyed by fire and a passenger was exposed to hot liquid that burned through his clothing. The fire department has an incident record, and the burned vehicle and damaged shirt are being preserved as evidence.

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. It appears that the vehicle at issue had been in use and operation for several years. If a customer experiences any type of malfunction with his/her ROHV they need to take the vehicle in for an inspection and service as soon as possible to one of approximately 600 authorized CFMOTO dealers located across the U.S. for a full vehicle inspection and diagnosis of any potential mechanical issues.
With respect to the incident at issue, CFMOTO has no other reported incidents of fire events related to a 2026 UForce 600 model ROHV. The current incident was reported to CFMOTO and is being investigated fully by appropriate professionals and third parties. No injuries have been reported to CFMOTO. There are a number of possible causes for the incident at issue based on initial data, including the presence of a 2020 [REDACTED] tractor located next to the CFMOTO ROHV at issue. CFMOTO will make sure that all consumer concerns on this matter are properly and timely addressed.

The product, in the report: 2025 CFMOTO U10 highland UTV

While using the 2025 CFMOTO U10 1000 Highland for normal recreational purposes, I accessed the rear cargo bed shortly after driving.I smelled something burning, Upon lifting the rear bedliner,The Exhaust was so hot and almost on fire. I unintentionally made contact with plastic components that had melted due to excessive heat from the exhaust system located underneath.
The heat generated in that area is high enough to cause nearby plastic components to deform and melt, exposing users to a serious burn hazard. I sustained a burn to my hand as a direct result of this defect.
There appear to be no adequate heat shields or thermal barriers in place to prevent this issue, nor are there any visible warnings alerting users of high-temperature components under the bed. This is a design flaw that poses a serious safety risk to consumers and should be addressed immediately. Especially that consumers travel with extra fuel and propane tanks for the BBQ that could of exploded if the heat and fire wouldn’t of been identified
Safety Concerns:
Burn hazard to users accessing the rear bed
Potential fire hazard due to melting plastic and proximity to exhaust heat
And possible explosion if carrying flammable.
I.e extra fuel, bbq w/ propane tank.
Absence of protective shielding or manufacturer warnings
Possible recurrence if design is not corrected across all 2025 UForce Highland models
Action Requested:
Immediate investigation into the product design
A recall or mandatory service fix to correct the exhaust heat issue
Consideration of replacement or refund for affected vehicle
Publication of a CPSC safety alert if warranted
Additionally a heat shield to be placed under the bed protecting against heat.
I am requesting that the Consumer Product Safety Commission investigate this matter and take appropriate action to prevent further injuries or incidents.
Thank you for your time and attention to this report.

Brand new cfmoto 800 XL was sitting in my driveway.

The hatch cannot be opened due to the severity of damage. Contacted early cycle center in harrisonburg ,VA where I bought the machine. They picked up the machine, found the shift linkage out of adjustment and adjusted the park brake. While there they stated they found 3 other machines that would fail to stay in the park position. Our salesman [REDACTED] stated he would contact the company cfmoto and start paperwork to notify that an issue was found on our machine and multiple others. After my homeowners denied the claim due to default in a warrantied machine I contacted the dealer. They stated they did not file paperwork, did not contact cfmoto, and did not record our machine being there for a major defect. I’m not happy with how this was and continues to be handled due to the unsafe machines that are not checked over, and damage to a vehicle that I’m liable for now.

The rear right caliper failed and leaked fluid. That drained the brake fluid resivoir and since the resivoir is only one compartment it drained all the fluid resulting in no front or rear brakes. It appear even the 4 seater model is the same setup because the same thing happend to someone else I saw on a [REDACTED] Group!

2023 CFMOTO 950 Sport Gen 2 Side by Side had the right rear caliper blow a seal and leak brake fluid. The brake fluid resivoir has only one compartment and the fluid drained the resivoir which resulted in Zero Brakes and I wasn’t able to stop at a stop sign and went into a well traveled road!

The company’s comments, in its own words

(5/9/2024) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CFMOTO has sold its brand ATVs and ROHVs in the United States for 17 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 off-road vehicle meets applicable CPSC standards and 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 ROV 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. for a full vehicle inspection and diagnosis of any potential mechanical issues.
With respect to the CFMOTO ZForce 950 ROHV described in this report, the vehicle was taken to a CFMOTO dealer and repaired under warranty. Based on the customer report and dealer warranty documentation, the brake seal leakage was likely caused from the hand brake being left on while driving the vehicle in the ordinary course, which resulted in the overheating of the rear brake rotors and calipers, and thereby caused the breach in the hydraulic caliper seal and loss of brake fluid through that area. The loss of the rear brake fluid should not have an immediate effect on the front brake system of the vehicle which has a separate connection to the brake fluid reservoir. Also, it is not clear from the report whether the consumer was operating the off-road only vehicle on a public highway (coming to a stop sign) or was crossing the highway, which could have affected vehicle braking based on the off-road tire setup. Regardless, the customer is encouraged to bring his vehicle into his/her CFMOTO dealer for further inspection and CFMOTO will assist the dealer and customer to confirm that all brake systems are working properly post warranty repair. CFMOTO’s service department will also contact the customer and the dealer directly based on the information submitted with this report to ensure a clear and accurate exchange of information.

2023 CFMOTO ZFORCE 950 Gen 2 UTV SXS doesn’t have an emergency hand brake. Not only is it unsafe not to have a backup breaking system the vehicle gets stuck in park without this brake if you park on an incline and you could get stranded if you are alone in the middle of nowhere! Vehicle has to be moved forward or backwards physically to get it out of park!. CFmotor is aware I believe and has them on 2024 models and I think older models. I know of one person who has a 2023 and has one too. They need to recall the ones that don’t have an Emergency Hand Brake and install one!

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/26/2023) 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 off-road vehicle meets applicable CPSC standards and 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 ROV 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.
With respect to the CFMOTO ZForce 950 ROHV described in this report, it contains an internal parking brake mechanism (not a pin) that immobilizes the transmission. The parking brake system is tested internally and independently to insure that ANSI/ROHVA 1-2016 standards for the proper parking brake mechanism performance are met. Consumers are warned in the ZFORCE 950 vehicle manual to avoid parking on a steep slope or incline. Placing the transmission in Park on a steep slope or incline can place pressure on the parking gear, making it difficult to shift out of Park into another gear. If a consumer must park on a steep slope or incline, consumers are instructed to block the wheels on the downhill side using rocks or other suitable material. It does not appear from the report that this procedure has been followed by the customer. Regardless, the customer is encouraged to bring his 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 and assist the dealer and customer. CFMOTO’s service department will also contact the customer directly based on the information submitted with this report.

The product, in the report: UTV

(10/19/2023) The consumer has a safety concern because there is a defect in the safety latch. The unit has netting instead of doors. The latch that holds the netting in place on the driver’s side failed as he was getting out of the UTV. When he pushed the button, nothing happened. This is the first time that this happened. Also, the latch on the passenger side is starting to fail.
The consumer contacted the place of purchase to get a new latch. He was advised that the latches are on backorder because there have been many latches to fail.
The consumer then contacted the US importer and was advised to contact the dealer, which he had already done.
The consumer stated that the product should be recalled because they are unsafe.

Took to dealer for breakin adjustment was told it’s as good as it can be and I’d have to just play with it till you can make it go in to park.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/20/2023) 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 ROHV 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, based on the claims of the consumer the vehicle should be brought to the dealer immediately for inspection and an appropriate service solution. User safety is always CFMOTO’s number one concern.
The specific issue described in this report is highly unusual and it is not one that has been previously recorded. CFMOTO does not have any customer service claims indicating the vehicle will not shift into park. What maybe be happening is that the vehicle is being transported by the customer on a trailer while it is engaged in park. This type of vehicle transport is prohibited in the vehicle manual, because the movement/rocking of the ROHV while in transport on the trailer can cause it to break the parking pawl mechanism. That maybe the situation in this case. 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 and for a review of the proper trailer transport technique. 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. The customer is also requested to contact CFMOTO’s service department directly (888-8CFMOTO and select service option) to clarify the information submitted with this report and to provide his vehicle identification.

The product, in the report: Cfmoto all terrain vehicle, utility vehicle

Many Cfmoto brand Uforce, Cforce and Zforce vehicles have a flaw in the parking mechanism that can allow the machine to roll away unexpectedly and crash. Here are a few links to the issue.
[REDACTED]
My particular machine has not had park operating at all since the day I brought it home from the dealership. If you spend some time searching the internet, [REDACTED] and forums, the problem is worldwide with the CFmoto transmissions. The dealership has had a prt ordered for many months. The part is on “backorder”. The dealership has been great as far as trying to remedy the issue. The issue is not the dealership, it is the product itself and the fact that there are so many affected models. I couldn’t speculate the number nationwide, or world wide but it’s a very large number. Picture this, you take your family out for a ride with a group. Just say the group of 10 are all riding CFMOTO. You stop on the trail and put the transmission in park and get out to enjoy the scenery. The machine rolls away due to the weak parking pawl mechanism and smashes into the group of cfmoto’s further down the trail killing someone or maiming them. Then more of them roll away down the trail after being smashed into by the first one, because they too have the weak parking pawl. And if cfmoto says that the parking brake is the solution, then I urge you to investigate thier many many parking brake and service brake issues found accross the US as well.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/20/2023) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CFMOTO has sold its brand ATVs and ROHVs in the United States for approximately 15 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. The claim at issue states, “My particular machine has not had park operating at all since the day I brought it home from the dealership.” This claim is not only extremely unusual, but contradictory to all control and inspection processes at the manufacturer and dealer level. If a customer experiences any type of malfunction with his/her UTV they need to take the vehicle in for service as soon as possible to one of approximately 550 authorized CFMOTO dealers located across the U.S. In this case, upon the discovery that the vehicle “not had park operating at all” it should have been brought back to the dealer immediately for service and/or an exchange as maybe appropriate since user safety is always CFMOTO’s number one concern. Its not clear from the claim if the dealership has addressed the parking issue and to what extent. 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 with any reasonable request to remedy the problem. Lastly, the customer is highly encouraged to follow the instructions and abide by the warnings contained in the CFMOTO UForce 1000 owners manual. In particular, customers should “Always shift to PARK (P) position when the vehicle is not in operation. The vehicle can roll if the shift lever is not set to ‘P’. Always use the auxiliary hand brake as an additional precaution to prevent vehicle movement.”

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/25/2020) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CFMOTO has been in touch with this customer on previous occasions, including by email and by way of the Better Business Bureau, and have indicated to them that CFMOTO wants them to be 100% confident in the condition of their vehicle. The speedometer issue described is very unusual and CFMOTO has advised the customer that it will need to be addressed by a CFMOTO dealer in order to help with diagnosis and resolution. If the customer lets CFMOTO know which dealer of their choice they will bring the vehicle to for inspection, CFMOTO will request that the dealer prioritize the repair process under warranty with respect to the speedometer diagnosis and the door repair (the recall work on the throttle pedal and fuel hose connector was performed previously by the dealer). CFMOTO will provide extra guidance to the dealer based on the information the customer has submitted. CFMOTO will also authorize the dealer to perform any required maintenance free of charge to the customer to ensure best performance. CFMOTO will use the customer contact email on file (Tjdrum1980@gmail.com) for more direct communication about the process. CFMOTO can be reached toll-free at 888-823-6686 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, by email at info@cfmotousa.com or online at www.cfmotousa.com.

The product, in the report: 2013 UFORCE 800 UTV

I was driving my UTV (2013 UFORCE 800) this morning. As I was approaching my garage at about 4 MPH, the front drivers wheel fell off, causing the Steering to lock up and a sudden stop. The UTV is equipped to be driven on or off highway. If this would have happened at 65 MPH on the highway it could have been fatal. When I took the UTV into service, I was advised by the tech he had never seen anything like this before. The wheel assembly is held together with one nut, and there is no safety pin or any other device to keep the nut from falling off causing the wheel to fall off. When researching this, this is not the first time this has happened to a CFMOTO product. They are a death trap. I also have a 2013 CFMOTO ZFORCE 600 that has had safety issues including throttle sticking wide open and loss of brakes due to a nut vibrating loose. They need to be regulated, especially since they are legal in many states to operate on the highway.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/7/2017) Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd.: CFMOTO takes consumer and vehicle safety very seriously. All of the CFMOTO brand on road and off road vehicles meet the U.S. regulatory and industry safety standards. CFMOTO has a great safety track record over the past ten years. The UFORCE 800 utility vehicle (UTV) purchased by [REDACTED] was in use by him for more than three years prior to described issue. Prior to his purchase, the dealer as part of the pre-delivery inspection, completed a CFMOTO mandated Hub Upgrade and installed additional components with upgraded torque parameters and Loctite permanent sealant for added safety. The dealer from which [REDACTED] purchased the vehicle has never seen an issue of the nature described by [REDACTED] and neither has CFMOTO. Multiple factors based on use of the vehicle over time and rough off-road terrain resulting in vehicle contact with natural objects, such as rocks, logs, etc., or changes in trail elevation such as inclines or potholes, may cause the loosing of vehicle components. The UFORCE 800 can only be driven “off-road” and is only intended for utility type purposes. If [REDACTED] in fact has driven the vehicle on road at 65 miles an hour, this would be considered a misuse and very dangerous. This type of misuse would also place an undue stress on the vehicle components which are not intended for highway speeds. [REDACTED] had only one warranty repair for the entire period of his ownership of the vehicle and that was in 2014 for a damaged center console tab, for which CFMOTO authorized the dealer to replace the entire center counsel. The present issue was repaired by the dealer and the vehicle was returned to [REDACTED]. CFMOTO has not seen the vehicle. The dealer did not notify CFMOTO of the issue with [REDACTED]’s vehicle and there is no indication from [REDACTED] that he was charged for the repair. No warranty request or any type of reimbursement was presented by the dealer for the present issue. Therefore, additional facts are necessary from the dealer and [REDACTED] to truly understand the issue. CFMOTO always stands behind the quality and safety of their products and works closely with the dealer on all repair related issues presents to it.

The product, in the report: UTV Off Road vehicle

The caller stated that after riding his UTV approximately 7 times and having 120 miles on it, it started leaking brake fluids and the trottle (gas pedal) sticks wide open. This incident has ocurred 4 times. Also, that the seats are ripping apart.
3/13/13 The dealer was contacted and he was informed that he could not be refunded his money. The manufacturer was not contacted as yet.
UPDATE: On the driver’s side with the seat taken off you can see more open space. The point of the seats taken off is to show you that even though the seats are on the snow and mud get in the utv from the wind turbulence that it gets on the throttle cable, people, wind shield, on top of fuel tank opening to be able to get dirt and snow in your gas and the passengers eyes. And the brake fluid keeps lowering, that should not be!!!!! That is another safety hazard. This machine had four different antifreeze leaks, that is far from normaL Also the gages quit working. The roll cage was loose. Fenders hardware was missing, it would not shift out of gear at all after dropped it off at our house. I had to be in the gear you plan on using before starting to use it. One of the pictures that will be attached shows the throttle cable stuck, what will be not sent is the videos that show so much snow that turned to water that froze the cable. This machine was brought to them more than three times. I have two documents. Sometimes repairs done by the person that delivers the machine to and from service area. So no work order was made up. One person said are service department sucked, one person said you are getting a much lower cost of a machine. I called the main in MN. They said cable would be replaced, shop said no because there was nothing wrong with cable. I clearly stated it will be fine in a warm shop, where the temperature is above freezing, more than once. So now I have to wait another period of time for the machine. It was also called an inherited problem. And being told we had an abnormal winter. And as far as the weather, what is normal?
