\"2017

The 2017 Polaris General Base model in red is part of the recall.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"2017

The Hunter version is recalled as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

Polaris Industries recently announced the recall of approximately 1,600 2017 General utility vehicles due to??inconsistent tire pressure information which could??result in improperly-inflated tires, posing a crash hazard. The affected models are the Base model in red and the Hunter model in camo. No injuries have been reported related to this recall. Owners should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Polaris for a new tire pressure label and addendum to the owner’s manual. Polaris can be contacted at 800-765-2747 or at www.polaris.com<\/a>??for more information.<\/p>\n

This is a relatively small recall compared to many of the industry recalls. In addition, the cost to Polaris for addressing the issue would appear to be minor. SVR tracks industry recalls and has compiled an ongoing list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
