Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #23796) was formally reported on September 28, 2023. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Polaris Industries Inc., of Medina, Minnesota is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records list the affected scope as About 280 (In addition, 2 were sold in Canada).

The documented reason for this recall is: The passenger side seat belt buckle bracket was not properly welded, which could result in the seat belt anchor point separating from the frame, posing an injury hazard to consumers. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris (Polaris vehicles only), Arien (Gravely vehicles only), or Bobcat (Bobcat vehicles only) dea… - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
