Polaris has recalled about 2,000 Model Year 2023-2024 Ranger XP Kinetic recreational off-road vehicles (ROVs) because the throttle can deactivate if the brake and throttle pedals are pressed at the same time. If the throttle remains deactivated after the brake is released, the vehicle may fail to respond as expected, posing a crash hazard and risk of serious injury. Polaris has received eight reports of loss of throttle response, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact Polaris for a free software update.
The vehicle's control system can incorrectly deactivate the throttle when both the brake and throttle are used simultaneously. If this happens and the throttle remains deactivated after releasing the brake, the operator may lose control of the vehicle's speed, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair, including an update to the vehicle control system. Polaris has notified consumers to stop riding the vehicles and is contacting registered owners directly.
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.
