Polaris is recalling RZR XP Turbo S models due to an issue with the ROPS.<\/p><\/div>\n

Polaris is recalling 2018 RZR XP Turbo S UTVs because the rollover protection structure can fracture during a high-speed rollover. The recall involved approximately 1,300 vehicles. Owners reported six instances of the ROPS fracturing. Owner should immediately stop using the vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair.<\/p>\n

SVR’s Take:<\/strong>?? The recall is relatively small compared to typical recalls, and considering the number of vehicles Polaris sells. However, this is the first time I remember an issue with a ROPS structure for any manufacturer. In addition, Polaris mostly likely manufactured these 2018 models under their new design and manufacturing processes implemented to produce better quality vehicles. SVR maintains a list of recent recalls<\/a> of UTVs, golf cars and LSVs. The following recall information is from the Consumer Protection Safety Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n
