Polaris is recalling about 3,800 model year 2017 Sportsman 450, 570, 850, 1000, and Scrambler 1000 all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The electronic power steering unit in these vehicles can malfunction, which may cause the driver to lose control and crash. Polaris has received 15 reports of steering malfunctions, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide between September 2016 and March 2017.
The electronic power steering unit can fail while the vehicle is in motion. This loss of steering assistance or unexpected steering behavior can lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash and serious injury to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact Polaris to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting all known purchasers directly.
