When the vehicle is operated in low temperatures, water in the catch tank and breather tube may freeze, blocking the tube. This can result in increased pressure in the crankcase, causing oil to leak from the engine head area. In addition, debris may collect on a depressed area of the exhaust manifold at an opening in the exhaust manifold cover.
If the drive belt breaks or fails, it may damage the fuel line and cause a fuel leak.
If the drive belt breaks or fails, it may damage the fuel line and cause a fuel leak.
The clutch duct cover used during manufacturing may not have been removed prior to shipping.
Under certain conditions, corrosion may build up in the throttle pedal pivot and cause friction, resulting in the throttle pedal sticking and not returning to the closed position.
There is a possibility that the engine oil cooler hoses may separate from the banjo clamp joints due to insufficient clamping strength and as a result, engine oil could leak. There is also a possibility that the fuel tank cap gasket could become pinched and torn when the tank cap is installed on the filler neck. As a result, fuel and fuel vapour may leak.
Certain MY2016-2018 Polaris Ranger 1000 Diesel vehicles may have an improperly routed parking brake cable. The parking brake cable could make contact with the electrical harness and cause premature wear.
Some 2018 Ranger 500/570 and EV/EV Li-Ion vehicles may have been manufactured with an improperly welded front lower control arm.
Due to an error in assembly, some units may have a loose retaining clamp on the engine intake manifold/throttle body.
Asbestos has been detected in the exhaust and internal engine gaskets of the 2015 and 2016 models and in the muffler air injection system gasket of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 models.
The lock nuts may not have been tightened correctly on the lower ball joints of the front suspension.
The Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) on 2018 RZR Turbo S vehicles may not meet Polaris quality standards.
The fuel tank may build excessive pressure due to a blocked vent.
MY16-MY17 Ranger XP 900 may have an improperly welded seat belt bracket on the rear cab support.
Due to poor quality fuel, or insufficient maintenance, the engine may misfire, causing the muffler to overheat. If the vehicle continues to be used when it is malfunctioning, it may melt the muffler heat shield.
2017-2018 ACE 500/570/900 models were manufactured with a fuel pump flange assembly that when exposed to certain chemicals may degrade over time, and this could result in a fuel leak.
2017-2018 RZR 570 models were manufactured with a fuel pump flange assembly that when exposed to certain chemicals may degrade over time, and this could result in a fuel leak.
2016-2018 RZR XP Turbo models were manufactured with a fuel pump flange assembly that when exposed to certain chemicals may degrade over time, and this could result in a fuel leak.
2014-2018 RZR XP 1000 / XP4 1000 models have been manufactured with heat shields that do not meet Polaris quality standards.
MY2014-2018 RZR XP 1000 / XP4 1000 models have a heat shield that may not adequately shield exhaust gasses in the event of an exhaust silencer crack.
The Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) shaft may break causing a loss of steering control.
Under certain circumstances heat from the exhaust can melt the splash panels located behind the seats.
The upper steering shafts on 2016-2017 General vehicles may experience movement along the length of the power steering spline.
The exhaust temperatures can reach a temperature that could crack the Exhaust Head Pipe
Under certain conditions fuel can leak from the fuel tap when it is turned to operate the valve.
On affected vehicles, fuel can leak from the carburettor overflow pipe and drain on to the ground.
Certain model year 2014 - 2017 Scrambler XP1000 models were not calibrated to enter safe mode in the event of a stuck throttle cable. In the event of a stuck throttle cable the ECU will illuminate the check engine light but will not limit engine RPM or vehicle speed.
Under certain conditions fuel can leak from the fuel tap when it is turned to operate the valve.
RZR 170 units may have been manufactured with wiring harnesses that may short to the ground with no circuit protection.
Affected vehicles may have been manufactured with fuel tanks that do not meet quality standards. As a result, the fuel tank may crack, resulting in a fuel leak.
Front and rear brake shoes in affected quad bikes (and these parts sold as spare parts) may contain asbestos. The importation of asbestos or goods containing asbestos into Australia has been prohibited under the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 since 31 December 2003.
The 2014 Sportsman 570 models were manufactured with a fuel tank vent line ending in the headlight pod. This may result in liquid fuel exiting the vent line.
Some vehicles may have been assembled using incorrect front brake caliper mounting bolts.
Certain parts in the affected quad bikes (and some of these parts sold as spare parts) may contain asbestos. The importation of asbestos or goods containing asbestos into Australia has been prohibited under the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 since 31 December 2003.
The seat close off panel screws can come loose, causing a close off panel to become dislodged.
The Electronic Power Steering (EPS) units have a mainboard wire connector that could potentially become loose during operation, which may result in erratic EPS operation.
The brake master cylinder may have been contaminated during the manufacturing process, which may cause the front brake seal to swell. A swollen seal may cause an unintended brake drag.
The exhaust manifold side panel may contact the exhaust system causing the panel to melt.
The engine of the vehicle could back fire.
Brake master cylinder may have been contaminated during the manufacturing process, which may cause the front brake seal to swell. A swollen seal may cause unintended brake drag.
The stator coil charge may be reduced due to insufficient insulation material around the wiring inside the stator that could become affected by engine heat, causing the battery to go flat.
Some models have been manufactured with an air box intake snorkel that may come in contact with the fuel rail during operation.
On certain affected vehicles, the instrument cluster may display the gearbox position “P” even though the gearbox is not mechanically engaged in the park position.
The steering rack and pinion assembly may have been manufactured by the supplier with an improper amount of grease.
Some units were manufactured with cargo box close-off bracket fasteners that may become loose or dislodged under certain operating conditions.
On certain vehicles, a foreign object such as a stick could be deflected by the front tyres into the left or right floor board.
There is a potential for the engine to overheat and the oil line may come loose spilling oil onto the overheating engine.
These models were manufactured with insufficient shielding between the engine exhaust and rearmost seat close-off panel.
