Corrective Actions: Polaris will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect the Ride Command software version on your vehicle, and update it as necessary. Alternatively, you can take your vehicle to a dealership to have the update completed at no cost.

A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.
