The hazard
On certain ATVs, water can enter the right-side stop-switch and collect inside the plastic sheathing. The trapped water can seep into the wires and, over time, contaminate the throttle position sensor. Water in the throttle position sensor can freeze in cold weather and prevent the engine from returning to idle when the throttle lever is released. This could cause the throttle to stick open, posing a risk of injury or death to riders. Correction: Dealers will modify the wire harness and install a new throttle position sensor.
