Thanks for sharing. I don't see anything online posted about it.

I hope it isn’t so.  Have had great service from my Coleman, past three years.

Understand that Coleman Powersports is a separate company from the Coleman Co., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Newell Corp.

Coleman Powersports USA uses the Coleman name under license.

Thank you.  I hope they survive this.  With the lantern emblem on the 550, I thought it was a subsidiary of the Coleman Company.  Our local TSC can’t keep them in stock.   Wonder why they are failing?  Many here complain about them, mine has been problem free.

Briggs and Stratton filed chapter 11 a year or so back, they did some legal mumbo jumbo and emerged as a "new" bankruptcy free Briggs and Stratton now and are still chugging along.

Was  Coleman using Hisun engines?

My 2019 550 has a Hisun.  I think it’s all Hisun

Yeah, I just bought a Coleman Outfitter UT400 from Tractor Supply and they told me about Coleman's Chapter 11, which I confirmed online. I contacted Coleman about parts and every time I call I get a different answer ... We are not shipping parts at this time ... we can ship within 7-10 work days ... we can ship, but you won't get your parts sooner than 3 weeks. Seriously, I might be returning my UTV and get a refund.

Trust me, you wont get a refund.. I bought my Massimo from Tractor Supply. in 2017 . It broke that same day with 001 mile on it.. They refused return and had no clue where to get it fixed.  And to this day, it has  been in shops 6 times in its first year, and neither Massimo or T.S. has paid a single dime if repairs .. But they generously gave me a $50 TS gift card!!! lol

Wow, I hear so many horror stories of people getting ripped off by the box stores and/or UTV manufacturer warranty's. In my case, I was sold a new UTV with no keys, no gas cap and other stuff missing at a great price, but later found out it wasn't new and had over 6 hours on it and 23 miles. TSC ripped me off big time, but I'm trying to justify this by being able to do the little repairs/replacements, since I did save between 2 or 3 thousand (depending if I compare it to the store or online price). But still, this is very disturbing, as it seems to be happening all over.

As of today  i have 4 units waiting for updated shift lever .  Calling again to find out status .  Its nothing new, they have always been horrible about contacts, replies , parts order time frame.  I just go with thte flow .  You get what you pay for .  These units look nice , and actually preform pretty well  for the cost .  When yu have a Chinese company "Hisun " subbing out prduction to a Vietmese  company  to build a low cost UTV  ,kinda get what you get. Other than the shifter issue, wheel bearings not torqued etc  they are pretty  decent . Looks like they cloned a Yamaha Rhino  .  If shift levers are not avail  I may start producting some myself .  Need to figure out cores, shipping etc .
