My 10 year old ranger hasn’t had one stop ride or recall. But the frame has been rewelded and reinforced several times from hitting shit. My friend was 2 whiskey jugs deep on the first weld job so it probably could have been solved with one and not several. it burns oil when held wide open for miles, and has ate 2 sets of tires. The struts and brakes are gone so that will be next upgrade. It’s been way more reliable than any ctech I have owned. My 70 year dad drives the ranger around my house. I have drive it once maybe because my ltz was faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member EvilBird Posted November 4, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted November 4, 2023 I love Polaris but they gotta get their shit together. Although loss of brakes from improper brake line seems odd in itself , I would love to know the details. Lawyers ruin all the fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleflipper Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 2670 units of one model. Wonder how many years it takes Cat to produce that many sxs across the entire line up 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyers ruin all the fun I agree - it's been a shit show for a few years now, and it's getting pretty tiresome. How much of it is due to the times we live in now, though, with having to cover their asses? I mean, look at that stupid fuel tank recall. What was it, something like a quarter million units and less than 1% had an issue? Stupid times we live in, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p51mstg Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I didn't know Polaris was making SxS's in Mexico. I wonder why they would do that, I thought everything was made in USA. That being said, I don't think these kinds of recalls are because of where it was manufactured, because from my point of view there's a huge shortage of skilled + quality workforce everywhere. It seems like fewer people are willing to accomplish - or capable of accomplishing - virtually anything. Polaris needs to increase their efforts to not only hire the right people, but also foster an environment that ensures employees care. Some recalls seem to be related to design, but some are clearly quality issues. The right engineers think further ahead than their current task to prevent design issues from creeping into production. The right shop floor employees are empowered to bring up issues when they're found, and prevent defects from leaving the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure turning it would give much more clearance, I will have a look see. Thanks Sent my dealer a mail telling him to check these on pre-delivery. Might save a few pissed off customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We owned a cushman dealer for years and that thing is way better than a prowler pro. It used the same engine as the 660 yellow stone special and could haul more than a 3/4 ton pick up and had a hydraulic dump bed. The reason we don’t have one is we sold the company and bought a tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
