Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Polaris has recalled approximately 1,400 Model Year 2021 GENERAL 1000, GENERAL 4 1000, GENERAL XP 1000, and GENERAL XP 4 1000 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs). These vehicles were sold nationwide between March 2021 and May 2021 in colors including burgundy, gray, graphite, tan, titanium, and white. The recall was issued because a weld between the brake pedal pivot bracket and the EPS mounting bracket can separate, which may cause a sudden loss of brake function. Consumers should stop using the vehicles immediately and contact a Polaris dealer for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

If the weld between the brake pedal and the mounting bracket fails, the driver may lose the ability to use the brakes, creating a high risk of a crash. No incidents or injuries have been reported at the time of this recall.
