CFMOTO Zforce 800 Trail Antifreeze Line Snaps


I own a CF Moto Zforce 800 Trail, and on 08/18/2026 while driving on a public road in Salamanca, NY, the antifreeze line failed in a very dangerous way. The machine had been overheating, and then the line burst, spraying hot coolant onto the driver and causing the ATV to catch on fire. The hot liquid burned through the shirt, and although there were thankfully no serious injuries, the situation could easily have been much worse. The vehicle is only about one year and three months old and has roughly 500 miles on it. I find it unacceptable that a relatively new machine, used this little, suffered such a serious and safety‑related failure. I am currently waiting for a call back from the dealer regarding this issue. I request that the necessary repairs and all related damage from this incident be covered in full without any cost to me, and I do not want a replacement vehicle. I expect CF Moto and the dealer to take this safety issue seriously, investigate the cause, and resolve it promptly so that I am not held financially responsible for a defect that created a fire and burn risk.
