Issue: On certain ATVs, the fuel pump flange outlet could leak. If this happens, fuel could leak onto hot surfaces that are nearby. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Polaris advises you not to use your ATV until the recall repairs are completed. Polaris will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your ATV to a dealership to replace the fuel pump. The dealer will also install a cover and a jumper harness.
- Other#2023012
2,366 units affected
Issue: The safety section in the owner's manual supplied with certain ATVs was incorrectly printed with information regarding side-by-side models. Safety Risk: Incorrect safety information in an owner's manual could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Polaris will notify owners by mail and provide you with an updated owner's manual with a corrected safety section.
- Steering#2017212
751 units affected
On certain ATV’s, there is an error within the software which controls the electric power steering (EPS) module. In the event of a lost or intermittent connection to the EPS module, the power steering software would calibrate the steering to roughly five times the ordinary power steering resistance or two times unassisted, manual steering resistance. This sudden increase in steering resistance would unexpectedly increase steering effort, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the software that controls the EPS unit, which will turn off the steering assist, rather an increase steering resistance if a connection fault is detected. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their ATV until the defect has been repaired.
