G5 exhaust sensor vibrating loose

[theidbreder]

Has anyone had an issue with their top exhaust sensor vibrating out. I was riding on Friday, and noticed I my sled started sounding a little different (louder). After getting out of the powder and loading the sled, I noticed the plastic near the left headlight

was melted. When I got home I pulled the hood and saw the sensor came out and burnt a hole through the insulation and hood. Not happy

damn, that sucks. seems enough of these come loose such that brp needs to update the assembly line procedure on tightening these things and/or use castellated nuts and safety wire.

That’s a warranty issue

I’m sure it would be a PITA to get a stealership to honor something like that. Luckily hoods aren’t that expensive.

There's no way that isn't a warranty item! If the dealer says no, go to another.

It's not the Dealer's decision on whether to warranty something or not it is BRP. Example the flimsy little plastic tabs on the top exhaust side panel have broke off on mine. Dealer said no warranty I insisted they contact BRP and send pictures and BRP said to warranty it.

UPDATE: I just got a call back from my Skidoo dealership. BRP, notified them that the damaged parts from the sensor coming out would be warranted…. They ended up ordering a new hood, insulation, sensor, sensor module and the tune pipe (it only had melted sensor wire insulation on it). I’m definitely happy with their decision.

What's their solution to keeping the probe in place? The same washer as years passed or just hope?

Not sure what the solution is, if there is one. I just think they are writing it off as a human error. I know several people who have the gEN5 and they’ve checked theirs after every ride since mine came out and theirs haven’t even budged.
