The following is a copy of the R-23-03 Consumer Letter issued 10/27/2023. Vehicles affected by this recall will receive notification by mail to the address the vehicle is registered to.
Dear Polaris Owner,
Polaris has determined that the center brake line on some model year 2023 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar / Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew vehicles may have been improperly installed. An improperly installed center brake line may cause the rear brake circuit to remain pressurized during operation, resulting in overheated brakes and reduced braking performance that could pose a fire and crash hazard and risk of serious injury. Our records show you have purchased an affected vehicle. Polaris has informed the Consumer Product Safety Commission about the issue.
What you should do:
Contact your authorized Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed. Do not attempt repairs yourself. Repairs must be done only by an authorized Polaris dealer. This repair should take approximately 1 hour. When making contact with your dealer, discuss parts availability, their schedule and how long they will need to keep your vehicle.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL THIS SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY YOUR DEALER.
What your dealership will do:
To address this concern, Polaris has developed an inspection. Based on the inspection, replacement of the center brake line might be required. This work will be performed by your dealer at no cost to you. This notice was mailed to you according to our most current registration information. If you no longer own this vehicle, or if some of the contact information in this notice is incorrect, please contact your dealer to complete a transfer of ownership. Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within 10 working days after the day on which the notice is received.
If you need assistance contacting or locating a Polaris dealer, or if you have questions your Polaris dealer is not able to address, contact our Polaris Owner Connections Department at 1-800-POLARIS (765-2747), or go to https://www.polaris.com/en-us/help-center/.
