MnDean Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Polaris Industries Inc. is issuing a Stop Ride notice to owners of Model Year 2021-2023 MATRYX, 2015-2022 AXYS and select Model Year 2013-2014 Trail Performance (Pro-Ride) snowmobiles. Our records indicate that you are the owner of a Polaris Snowmobile with VIN xxxxxxxxxxxx affected by Safety Recall S-22-09. We have determined that with degraded fuel, and especially after extended storage, some snowmobiles may pose a risk of fire due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) inside the fuel tank. Under specific conditions, vapors may be ignited inside the fuel tank, posing a potential injury hazard to consumers. Polaris has voluntarily reported this matter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Polaris is currently evaluating a repair procedure for affected snowmobiles. Until a remedy is approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, we urge you not to ride the vehicle. Once a repair procedure has been validated and approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Polaris will notify dealers and contact you by mail (and email). This work will be performed by your dealer at no cost to you. If a rider needs to start their snowmobile, they must make sure the fuel tank is full and, if it is not, then they need to add fresh gasoline to fill the tank.

Not greg b Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Arctic cat shoots flames at us and Polaris drops bombs on us. Maybe we should ship all of them to Ukraine to use as weapons on the Russians?? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ask the guys who've converted from Cat to Polaris ... how much they regret the change and if it's really a downgrade.
