Polaris Recalls Certain Off-Road Vehicles Over Reports Of Fires

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Polaris Industries has recalled certain RZR 900 and 1000 off-road vehicles manufactured since model year 2013 due to "thermal-related incidents, including fires."

The company jointly announced the recall with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Tuesday.

All affected vehicle owners are asked to contact a dealer and schedule a complimentary service appointment, which Polaris says should take around one hour.

"We are working day and night to inform our customers and dealers and to obtain the parts needed for the repairs we identified in our comprehensive analysis," Scott W. Wine, Chairman and CEO of Polaris, said. "We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers as we work to ensure all the systemic thermal risks we identified are eliminated from our vehicles."

Dealers will schedule appointments subject to parts availability, the company said.
