"Tis true.

Here is the link:  https://www.colemanpowersportsusa.com/blog/ppg-press-release

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.

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 .

      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .

      My buddy has a ut400 that the forward gear keeps popping out of gear. She only has like 400 miles on the odometer .the shift cable has been adjusted and the shift lever has been updated / modified. All other gears are good. Is there an internal detent cam or something that wears out or shift fork that can be replaced ? Or is there some other magic that I can perform ? Looks like the engine needs to be split.

      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?

      Is there a diagram of all of the grease zerks for a Coleman UT 400?  Mine squeaks like crazy and want to try and remedy it.

      I’m need a couple parts. Diff. Lock Actuator mainly. But I would like to find a donor that maybe has bad motor or something along those lines. 
      if anyone has or knows of anything please holler at me
