Motorcycle Recall - Polaris Recall

By Walter F. Kern

NHTSA Campaign ID:  16V754000
Component:  Fuel System, Gasoline
Manufacturer:  Polaris Industries, Inc.
Recall Date: 10/18/2016
Potential Number of Units Affected: 17,795
Defect Summary:
Polaris Industries, Inc. (Polaris) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Slingshot motorcycles manufactured March 4, 2014, to October 7, 2016. The affected vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the fuel line and the hood structure.
Consequence Summary:
The insufficient clearance may allow the fuel line to rub against the hood until it leaks fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Corrective Summary:
Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine fuel line, and inspect the retention clips to reduce the risk of interference, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2016. Owners may contact Polaris customer service at 1-855-863-2284. Polaris' number for this recall is T-16-03.
