Polaris has recalled about 21,000 Model Year 2024-2025 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 recreational off-road vehicles (ROVs) sold in black, blue, gray, red, and white. The seat base can damage the red positive battery terminal cover, causing an electrical short that poses a fire hazard. Polaris has received three reports of incidents, including two fires and one report of melted wires, though no injuries have been reported. Polaris is providing a replacement battery cover by mail that can be self-installed or installed for free by a dealer.
The seat base can rub against and damage the positive battery terminal cover. This allows the battery post to contact conductive metal components, causing an electrical short and a fire risk. The firm is aware of two fires resulting from this defect.
Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly and providing a full-battery cover to them by mail that can be self-installed or installed for free by an authorized Polaris dealer. Consumers can continue to operate the recalled ROVs before installation of the battery cover only if the battery positive terminal cover (red) is undamaged. The consumer can confirm the cover is undamaged by completing the Battery Positive Terminal Cover (Red) Verification and Seat Installation Instructions provided by Polaris at https://prdservicemanagementstg.blob.core.windows.net/fieldcommunications/9942029r01.pdf. If the battery positive terminal cover (red) is damaged, the recalled ROV should not be operated until the repair is complete.
