Approximately 6,000 model year 2017 Polaris RMK, PRO-RMK, SKS, and RMK Assault snowmobiles are being recalled because a weld on the steering post can separate. This defect can lead to a sudden loss of steering control, which has been reported 13 times. These vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from May 2016 through March 2017 in various colors for between $12,000 and $15,200. Polaris is offering a free repair to all affected owners.
A failure in the steering post weld can cause the steering to disconnect while the vehicle is in motion. This results in an immediate loss of control, posing a significant crash hazard to the rider and others.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting all known purchasers directly.
