Polaris Industries is recalling approximately 10,500 Model Year 2024 RANGER XD 1500 and RANGER CREW XD 1500 recreational off-road vehicles (ROVs), plus about 1,336 accessory winches. The recall was issued because the winch wiring can overheat during use, creating a fire hazard that could lead to serious injury. The company has received one report of a fire, though no injuries have occurred. These vehicles were sold in three- and six-seat configurations in camouflage, red, and silver at Polaris dealers nationwide between February 2023 and August 2024. Owners should contact an authorized dealer for a free repair to ensure a proper winch ground connection.
The winch wiring can overheat during operation, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury to riders or passengers. One fire has already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the winch in the recalled ROVs and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair to confirm a proper winch ground connection at the dealer's location. Polaris is contacting registered owners directly.
The VIN is printed on a portion of the left rear frame (driver's side) under the cargo box. "POLARIS" is stamped on the front grille.
Purchased separately as an accessory.
