Polaris recalls ’24 Ranger, ProXD, RZR XP and Bobcat UTVs

Polaris is recalling certain 2024 Ranger recreational off-road vehicles (ROVs) and ProXD, Bobcat UTVs and certain model year 2024-2025 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 ROVs.

For the Ranger, ProXD and Bobcat, the passenger side seat belt anchor point can separate from the frame due to a defective weld on the bracket, posing an injury hazard to passengers from impact with a loose bracket or failure of the seatbelt during a crash. These models were recalled in December 2024 and affect about 2,500 units (plus about 130 sold in Canada).

This recall involves certain VINs of MY 2024 Ranger 1000 and Crew 1000, Ranger XP 1000 and Crew XP 1000 and Ranger XP Kinetic ROVs; and ProXD full size and full size Crew and Bobcat UV34/UV34 XL UTVs. The Ranger and ProXD vehicles have “POLARIS” stamped on the front grille and the Bobcat vehicles have the Bobcat logo on the front grille. The vehicle identification number (VIN) for the Ranger, ProXD and Bobcat vehicles is located on a portion of the left rear frame on the driver’s side, under the cargo box.

Consumers should immediately stop carrying passengers in the recalled vehicles and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and, if needed, a free repair. Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly. The recall number is 25-702.

Polaris RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 recalled due to a fire risk

Affected models include certain 2024-2025 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 ROVs. The positive battery terminal cover (red) can become damaged by the seat base, causing the positive battery post to be exposed and contact nearby conductive components, resulting in an electrical short, posing a fire risk. These models were recalled on December 5, 2024, and affect about 21,000 units (plus about 1,300 in Canada).

Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly and providing them with a full-battery cover by mail that can be self-installed or installed for free by an authorized Polaris dealer. Consumers can continue to operate the recalled ROVs before installation of the battery cover only if the battery’s positive terminal cover (red) is undamaged. The consumer can confirm the cover is undamaged by completing the Battery Positive Terminal Cover Verification and Seat Installation Instructions provided by Polaris. If the positive terminal cover is damaged, the recalled ROV should not be operated until the repair is complete. The recall number is 25-703.
