Description
This recall involves Pro Armor doors sold as accessories for model year 2010 through 2014 Polaris RZR 800 and RZR 900 models. The doors have a black powder coated finish and have four major components: a large square sheet metal panel, a smaller triangular sheet metal panel, a tubular metal frame and a latch. The panels are interchangeable and come in two styles. One style has cutout vents along the top and the other style has none. The smaller panel has a white Pro Armor logo below the cutouts. The door frame has the logo and “Pro Armor” on the top tube. The latch is silver with a black locking mechanism that attaches to the vehicle frame and a handle that attaches to the door.
Hazard: – The latch pin can disengage from the latch and allow the door to open while the vehicle is moving, posing a risk of ejection of an unrestrained rider and impact or laceration hazards.
Incidents/Injuries – Pro Armor has received 23 reports of the latch pin disengaging. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy – Consumers should immediately stop using vehicles with these doors and contact Pro Armor for a free repair kit.
Sold at – Powersports dealers and online nationwide from June 2014 through October 2014 for about $550 to $600 for the set of doors.
Manufacturer(s) – LSI Products Inc. dba Pro Armor, Riverside, Calif.
Comment: This is a pretty small recall in terms of the number of units. Polaris recently acquired Pro Armor.
