Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Polaris is recalling approximately 640 of its Model Year 2023-2025 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar and Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew recreational off-road vehicles (ROVs). The lower seat belt anchor fasteners on these vehicles were not properly tightened, which can cause the seat belt to separate from the vehicle frame. The company has identified two vehicles with loose fasteners, though no injuries have been reported. Polaris is offering a free inspection and repair at authorized dealerships.

Risk

If the seat belt separates from the frame during a crash, riders lose critical protection and can be ejected from the vehicle, posing a serious injury hazard.

  2. Identify your vehicle by checking for the "POLARIS" stamp on the front grille and locating the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) printed on the left rear frame (driver's side) under the cargo box.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair.
  4. You may continue to operate the vehicle before the dealer repair only if you perform a self-inspection by following the "Seat Belt Fastener Verification Instructions" found on the Polaris website to ensure the anchor fasteners are secure.
