Polaris Model Year 2024 RANGER XD 1500 ROVs Recalled for Fire Hazard

Polaris is recalling Model Year 2024 RANGER XD 1500 and Crew XD 1500 recreational off-road vehicles equipped with winches because the winch wiring can overheat during use, creating a fire hazard and risk of serious injury.

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 fire hazard with one reported fire incident and identified risk of serious injury to riders and passengers. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is concrete (confirmed by at least one fire occurrence) rather than theoretical, placing this in the High category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where the hazard has been documented.
