Polaris recalls 19K side-by-sides due to crash hazard
Polaris issued a recall of approximately 19,000 General side-by-side recreational ORVs, when it was found that the steering wheel shaft can shift and detach while in use, resulting in a loss of control and crash hazard.
This recall involves model year 2016 and 2017 Polaris General 2- and 4-seat side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles. The vehicles were sold in black, blue, camouflage, orange, red, silver and white and have a cargo box on the back. “Polaris” is printed on the front grill, “GENERAL” is printed on the rear panel and “1000” is printed on the front panel. The VIN is printed on the left rear vehicle frame below the cargo box.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact Polaris to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting all known purchasers directly.
In addition, consumers can check vehicle identification numbers (VIN) on the “Product Safety Recalls” page online at www.polaris.com to see if their vehicle is included in any recalls.
