Uh oh! Got a recall today on the new ATV. Strange thing is, it has nothing to do with any of the stuff I have read about elsewhere on the net.

"Polaris has determined......may have been manufactured with steering posts which may fatigue and break in the area where the handlebar attaches to the steering post......

.......may have been manufactured with an insufficient amount of material thickness in the area where the lower a-arm and ball-joint are attached to the front bearing carrier........."

So no big deal, really. The front wheels break off and the handlebars twist off. What?! Could be a hell of a ride! Oh well. I'll make an appointment and have them replaced. Says the redesigned parts won't be in until the week of May 28th and not to ride it until they're replaced. Yea right, like I'm not going to ride it before then! I'm not afraid of a few sissy little parts falling off.

  1. Service manager at the dealership said to give him a call after Memorial Day to make sure they got the parts, and then bring it in. I'm the first on their list.
