Polaris is recalling about 4,700 model year 2015 snowmobiles, including RUSH, Switchback, and INDY models, because a steering component can crack. This defect can lead to a complete loss of steering control, which has already resulted in 11 reports of failures, three crashes, and one reported injury. Affected vehicles were sold in various color schemes including black, red, white, and silver at Polaris dealers nationwide between April 2014 and November 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these snowmobiles and contact a dealer for a free repair.
A component called the steering pitman arm or drag link can crack and break during use. If this occurs, the rider will lose the ability to steer the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a serious crash and injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact their local Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting its customers directly and sending a recall letter to each registered owner.
