Summary

Polaris is recalling about 5,900 ACE 150 and Ranger 150 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because the front suspension lower ball joint can separate during use. This defect can lead to a loss of control and poses a crash hazard to the driver and passenger. Ten reports of joints separating have been received, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled units include model year 2017-2018 ACE 150 and model year 2018 Ranger 150 vehicles sold in red and white at dealers nationwide from December 2016 through July 2018.

Risk

The front suspension lower ball joint can fail and separate over time, which can cause the vehicle to lose steering control and crash. Polaris has already received 10 reports of this component separating.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled ACE 150 or Ranger 150 vehicles.
  2. To identify an ACE 150 (Model Year 2017-2018): Look for 'POLARIS' on the front grille and bottom cab frame, and an 'ACE' decal on the rear fender. Check for model numbers A17HAA15A7, A17HAA15B7, A18HAA15B2, or A18HAA15B7 on the emissions label in the left front wheel well. The VIN is in the left rear wheel well.
  3. To identify a Ranger 150 (Model Year 2018): Look for 'POLARIS' on the front grille, a '150' decal on the front fender, and a 'RANGER' decal on the rear fender. Check for model number A18HZA15B4 on the emissions label in the right front wheel well. The VIN is in the left rear wheel well.
