The following is a copy of the R-24-03 Consumer Letter issued on 8/21/2024. Vehicles affected by this stop ride will receive a notification by mail to the address the vehicle is registered to.
Dear Polaris Owner,
Polaris has determined that some Model Year 2024 Ranger 1000/Crew 1000, Ranger XP 1000/Crew XP 1000 and Ranger XP Kinetic vehicles may have been built with a passenger seat belt buckle bracket that was not properly welded, which could result in the seat belt buckle anchor point separating from the frame and posing a potential injury hazard to consumers. 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 only take approximately 60 minutes. When making contact with your dealer, discuss parts availability, their schedule and how long they will need to keep your vehicle.
