Polaris Recalls Scrambler All-Terrain Vehicles Due to Throttle Switch Failure

Plain-English summary

Polaris Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 2,800 model year 2014 through 2017 Scrambler XP 1000 all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The recall involves vehicles sold in black, lime, red, and white. The "Polaris" brand is stamped on the front grill and rear panel, and "Scrambler XP" is on the center panel. Affected model numbers include A14GH9EAW, A15SVE95AW, A16SVE95AM, A16SVE95AA, and A17SVE95AM, which are located on the fuel tank cover.
