Summary

Polaris is recalling all 2016 RZR XP Turbo and RZR XP 4 Turbo recreational off-highway vehicles, affecting approximately 13,000 units. The engine can overheat and the turbo system's drain tube can loosen, which can lead to the vehicle catching fire. There have been 19 reports of fires and six reports of burn injuries, including one severe burn to a young child and a fire that destroyed 15 acres of forest. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair, an extended warranty, and a discount on a future vehicle purchase.

Risk

The engine may overheat and a drain tube in the turbo system can loosen, allowing fluids to leak and ignite. This poses a significant fire and burn hazard to the driver and passengers, as evidenced by multiple reports of vehicles catching fire during use.
