By Walter F. Kern
NHTSA Campaign ID:
18V809000
Component:
Back Over Prevention
Manufacturer:
Polaris Industries, Inc.
Recall Date: 11/15/2018

Potential Number of Units Affected: 11,371
|
Defect Summary:
Polaris Industries (Polaris) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Polaris Slingshot, Slingshot SL and Slingshot SL LE motorcycles equipped with a backup camera.
The back-up camera may fail internally, possibly melting the voltage regulator and blowing the fuse for that circuit, thereby
preventing the taillight from functioning properly.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number
108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.
Consequence Summary:
The melted voltage regulator can increase the risk of a fire. The loss of a tail light can increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the back-up camera, as necessary, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin December 6, 2018. Owners may contact Polaris at 1-855-863-2284. Polaris' number for this recall is T-18-04.
