Polaris has recalled about 6,300 model year 2014 through 2016 ACE 325 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because the exhaust header pipe can crack. This defect can release hot exhaust gases into the engine compartment, which has already caused at least two reports of seat damage due to melting. These single-seat vehicles were sold in white, green, and red at Polaris dealers nationwide. Polaris is offering a free repair to all affected owners.
The cracked exhaust pipe can release intense heat directly into the engine compartment, which can melt internal components and pose a serious risk of fire or burn injuries to the rider. While no injuries have been reported, Polaris has received six reports of cracked pipes including instances of melting seats.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact Polaris to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting all known purchasers directly.
