Issue: The safety section in the owner's manual supplied with certain ATVs was incorrectly printed with information regarding side-by-side models.

- Fuel System#2022641
775 units affected
Issue: If fuel spills while filling your ATV, an electrostatic discharge (spark) outside the fuel tank could start a fire. Safety Risk: A spark near a fuel spill can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Polaris advises to stop using your vehicle immediately. Polaris will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
- 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.
- Engine#2017138
3,796 units affected
On certain ATVs, the right side panel heat shield can melt. In addition, for the 2015 Sportsman 1000 models, the exhaust springs can stretch and damage the exhaust seal, which can result in exhaust leaks. Both of these conditions could pose burn and fire hazards causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new side right hand side panel, and for the 2015 Sportsman 1000 models, dealers will inspect the exhaust springs, and replace as necessary.
