Polaris recalls Ranger XP Kinetic and Pro XD Kinetic ROVs due to fire hazard
Polaris Industries has issued a recall of approximately 4,900 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) in the U.S., including all MY 2023–2024 Ranger XP Kinetic and MY 2025 Pro XD Kinetic models, due to a potential fire hazard. The recall also includes approximately 330 units sold in Canada, as well as 185 accessory charger service parts and kits.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the voluntary recall on June 18, 2025. According to Polaris, a cracked filter may allow water intrusion into the high-voltage charging harness, potentially leading to a short circuit and fire.
Polaris has received 47 reports related to this issue, including six incidents involving fire or melting, and four reports of sparking or smoke. No injuries have been reported.
The affected Ranger XP Kinetic vehicles were sold in camouflage and white colorways, while the Pro XD Kinetic vehicles feature gray body panels with black accents. All models are three-seaters with “POLARIS” stamped on the front grille. Dealers sold these units between April 2023 and March 2025, with retail prices ranging from $24,000 to $37,500.
This recall also includes charger service kits with part numbers: 2417296, 2417297, 2889704, and 2889486.
