Polaris has recalled approximately 1,025 Model Year 2023 RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar and XP 1000 NorthStar Crew off-road vehicles. An incorrectly installed center brake line can cause the rear brakes to remain pressurized during use, which can lead to overheating and a loss of braking performance. These vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide between June and September 2023 in colors including blue, brown, camouflage, graphite, and white. To date, Polaris has received one report of a fire and three reports of kinked brake lines. Consumers are advised to stop using the vehicles and contact a dealer for a free repair.
The center brake line may be improperly installed, causing the rear brake circuit to stay pressurized while the vehicle is in operation. This leads to overheated brakes and significantly reduced braking performance, which creates a serious risk of the vehicle catching fire or being involved in a crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris or an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection, and repair if needed. Polaris has notified consumers to stop riding the vehicles and is contacting registered owners directly.
