Polaris has recalled approximately 107,000 Model Year 2014-2018 RZR XP 1000 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because the exhaust silencer can fatigue and crack. If this occurs, the heat shield may fail to manage heat properly, causing nearby components to melt or catch fire. There have been 30 reports of cracked silencers, including 3 reports of fire, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from December 2013 through April 2018 and feature "POLARIS" stamped on the grilles and "RZR 1000 XP" stickers on the side panels. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a dealer for a free repair.
