The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves certain VINs of Model Year 2023 RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar and XP 1000 NorthStar Crew vehicles. The RANGER vehicles were sold in the following colors: blue, brown, camouflage, graphite and white. They were sold in three and six-seat configurations and have "POLARIS" stamped on the front grille. The model number and VIN are printed on a portion of the left rear frame (on the driver's side of the vehicle) under the cargo box.
- The hazard
- An improperly installed center brake line can cause the rear brake circuit to remain pressurized during operation, resulting in overheated brakes and reduced braking performance, posing fire and crash hazards.
- Injuries
- Polaris has identified one report of fire and three reports of kinked brake lines. Polaris is not aware of any reports of crashes or injuries.
- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection, and repair if needed. Polaris has notified consumers to stop riding the vehicles and is contacting registered owners directly.
