Polaris is recalling approximately 2,900 Model Year 2022 Patriot 850 MATRYX snowmobiles, including the RMK, INDY, and SWITCHBACK models with electric start. Primary drive clutches sold separately as service parts (part number 1323613) are also included. The ring gear on the primary clutch can fail, causing components of the clutch assembly to break loose and strike the rider or others. Polaris has received nine reports of the ring gear failing, including one serious injury involving a rider's foot. Consumers should immediately stop using these snowmobiles and contact a dealer for a free replacement clutch.
The primary clutch assembly can break apart during operation, which may cause components to be thrown from the vehicle. This poses a significant injury hazard, as demonstrated by one report of a rider's foot ligament being separated due to a clutch failure.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair to replace the primary (drive) clutch. Polaris has notified consumers to stop riding the snowmobiles and is contacting registered owners directly.
The VIN and Model Number are located on the right side of the vehicle's frame (tunnel).
Sold separately as a replacement or service part.
