Polaris is recalling about 1,000 of its model year 2018 Ranger 500, 570, EV, and EV LI-ION recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because the front lower control arms can separate from the vehicle. This defect can cause a sudden loss of control and a crash, with Polaris already receiving six reports of the control arms separating. The vehicles were sold in various colors including red, green, blue, gray, and camouflage at Polaris dealers nationwide between August 2017 and July 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair.
The front lower control arms can detach from the vehicle's frame or wheel assembly while in motion. This separation can cause the driver to lose steering control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash and potential injury to the driver and passengers.
Consumer should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact a Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly.
