Polaris "900 Fusion" "900 RMK" and "900 Switchback"…

Polaris Industries

There are three separate issues involved in this safety recall: Front Suspension Spindle - The nut that fastens the upper control arm ball joint to the suspension spindle can loosen. If this occurs, continued operation could allow the spindle to break and release the upper control arm, posing a risk of loss of control of the vehicle. Fuel Tank Chaffing - The fuel tanks can contact the chassis along the bulkheads, leading to wear on the tank walls. This could pose a fuel leakage and possible fire hazard to consumers. Gasket - The gasket sealing the fuel pump assembly to the tank can develop cracks. This poses a risk of fuel leakage and fire hazard to consumers.

Polaris "900 Fusion" "900 RMK" and "900 Switchback"…

Polaris "900 Fusion" and "900 RMK 151" snowmobiles

Polaris Industries

The fuel connections between the fuel line and the fuel pump and fuel filter can leak. Failure of the fuel connection can result in leaking fuel and a possible fire, which can result in severe injury or death. In addition, the drive shaft may have been incorrectly heat treated, resulting in brittle drive shafts that could fail at lower loads than the shafts were originally designed to meet. Failure of the drive shaft can result in a loss of braking of the snowmobile and severe injury or death.

RANGER Off-Road Utility Vehicles and Professional Series…

Polaris Industries

The problem with the RANGER vehicles and UTVs involves the swing arm, which is part of the rear suspension. During operation of the vehicle, the pivot bolts of the swing arm can loosen and fall out. If this happens, the swing arm can become partially disconnected from the frame. This can result in the vehicle losing power, because the drivetrain connection to the wheels is no longer maintained. If this were to occur, the loss of power and resulting swing arm disorientation could cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in injury to the operator.
