Reason for recall
There are three separate issues involved in this safety recall: Front Suspension Spindle - The nut that fastens the upper control arm ball joint to the suspension spindle can loosen. If this occurs, continued operation could allow the spindle to break and release the upper control arm, posing a risk of loss of control of the vehicle. Fuel Tank Chaffing - The fuel tanks can contact the chassis along the bulkheads, leading to wear on the tank walls. This could pose a fuel leakage and possible fire hazard to consumers. Gasket - The gasket sealing the fuel pump assembly to the tank can develop cracks. This poses a risk of fuel leakage and fire hazard to consumers.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the snowmobile and contact their Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris is directly notifying most owners about the recall.
