Check your mailboxes! Looks like any 1000 built before 1/5/15 is subject to a repair by polaris. They are going to replace the donut gasket and put in updated springs. I have already had mine done with about 1600 miles on the repair so far (2100 total miles on my XP). It still glows and gets hot, but no melting plastic or exhaust can falling off. At least they are trying to do something about it for the rest of us having these issues! I got my notice in the mail just now.
