Polaris, Gravely, and Bobcat Utility Vehicles Seat Belt Bracket Defect

About 280 Polaris Ranger, Pro XD, Gravely ATLAS, and Bobcat utility vehicles have defective passenger-side seat belt brackets that may separate from the frame, creating an injury risk. Consumers should stop using the vehicles and contact their dealer for repair.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural safety defect (improperly welded seat belt anchor) where the seat belt could separate from the frame, creating a risk of serious injury. Although no injuries have been reported, this is a safety-critical component where failure would result in loss of restraint protection, meeting the rubric criterion for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Polaris Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 280 utility vehicles across multiple brands and model years: Model Year 2023 Polaris RANGER XP 1000, XP 1000 Crew, RANGER 1000, and 1000 Crew; Model Year 2024 Polaris Pro XD Full-Size Diesel Crew; Model Year 2024 Gravely ATLAS JSV-3400; and Model Year 2024 Bobcat UV34XL Gas. An additional 2 units were sold in Canada.

The recalled vehicles have a defect in the passenger side seat belt buckle bracket. The bracket was not properly welded, which could result in the seat belt anchor point separating from the frame. If the anchor separates, the passenger side seat belt would not function properly, posing an injury hazard to consumers.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. The vehicles were sold nationwide through Polaris dealers between June 2023 and August 2023, priced between $17,900 and $35,800.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact an authorized dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair if needed. Polaris is notifying registered owners directly.
