Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Polaris is recalling approximately 41,200 Model Year 2015-2020 600cc and 800cc AXYS Trail Performance and Crossover snowmobiles because a fuel hose may be improperly secured. This defect poses a fire hazard that could lead to serious injury or property damage, with 13 reports of improperly secured hoses received so far. The recalled vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from December 2013 through April 2020 for between $7,400 and $15,100. Affected models include RUSH, SWITCHBACK, RMK, VOYAGEUR, and INDY, and owners should contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

The fuel hose on these snowmobiles can come loose or be improperly fastened, allowing fuel to leak near hot engine components. This creates a significant fire hazard, though no fires or injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the model year and VIN stamped on the right side of the tunnel, and check the hood and side panels for the 'Polaris' brand and model names: RUSH, SWITCHBACK, RMK, VOYAGEUR, or INDY (Model Years 2015-2020).
  2. Immediately stop using the recalled snowmobile to prevent any potential fuel leaks or fire incidents.
  3. Contact a local Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and, if necessary, a free repair of the fuel hose assembly.
  4. Verify if you have been contacted directly by Polaris, as the company is notifying registered owners and dealers about this safety issue.
  5. For additional questions or to find a local dealer, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 or visit www.cpsc.gov.

Your Remedy Options
