Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Polaris is recalling approximately 7,400 Model Year 2022 MATRYX RMK, INDY, SWITCHBACK, VOYAGEUR, and NORDIC PRO snowmobiles (with an additional 3,647 sold in Canada). The throttle release switch (TRS) can fail to disengage properly, and some RMK models may have kinked throttle cables. Either condition can cause the throttle to stick open, leading to a loss of vehicle control. Polaris has received seven reports of throttle issues, including four kinked cables and three stuck throttles, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide between December 2019 and January 2022.

Risk

The throttle release switch may fail to disengage, or the throttle cable may become kinked and damaged. If the throttle sticks open while the vehicle is in motion, the rider may lose control, resulting in a crash hazard. Owners should stop using the vehicles immediately until they are inspected and repaired.
