Plain-English summary
Polaris Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 107,000 Model Year 2014-2018 Polaris RZR XP 1000 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs). The recall was initiated because the exhaust silencer may fatigue and crack. If this occurs, the heat shield may fail to manage heat, which can lead to the melting of nearby components or a fire.
Polaris has received 30 reports of cracked exhaust silencers, including 3 reports of fire. No injuries have been reported. The affected vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide since December 2013.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the affected vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair.
