Polaris is recalling approximately 80,000 model year 2021-2023 Sportsman 450 and 570 all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). An improperly assembled wiring harness can rub against the brake line or the vehicle frame, which can lead to a fire or cause the front brakes to fail. Polaris has received five reports of fires and three reports of damaged wires, with two of those fires also involving a loss of front braking ability. The recalled ATVs were sold in various colors at Polaris dealers nationwide between May 2019 and November 2022. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair.
The wiring harness can come into contact with the brake line or frame during use, potentially starting a fire or causing the front brakes to stop working. This defect significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact a Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris has notified consumers to stop riding the vehicles and is contacting registered owners directly to provide more details about the repair.
