AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR MAY DETACH
There is a possibility that the bracket holding the air conditioning compressor onto the engine is not properly tightened. As a result there is a risk that this bracket might break during driving. If this occurs the air conditioning compressor might become detached from the vehicle and could potentially fall on the road.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check bracket holding the air compressor is correctly secured. In case the bracket was not properly secured it will be replaced by a new one.
RISK OF FIRE
There is a possibility that the relay linked to the electrical circuit of the starter is out of specification. As such the relay might be blocked in a closed position. If this occurs there is a risk of the starter overheating and a theoretical risk of fire. Also if left in gear the vehicle could also start to move.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the starter relay.
SHORT-CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE ELECTRICS TO FAIL
It is possible for the wiring harness in the main switch panel to chafe on a bracket cut-out which could result in a short to earth. If a short circuit occurs it could result in the loss of various electrical systems. In the worst case the engine could cut out.
Recall the 143 vehicles that are likely to be affected and tape the edges of the bracket cut-out with adhesive felt tape & secure wiring harness.
REAR SPRING SEAT BASES MAY FAIL
The rear spring seat bases may develop cracks. Therse could case the seat base(s) to fail and the spriing(s) may detach.
On affected vehicles repalce the rear spring seat bases
THROTTLE MAY STICK
In the event of a stuck throttle cable the ECU will illuminate the check engine light but will not limit engine RPM or vehicle speed.
A calibration update that enables the ECU to place the engine into safe mode in the event of a stuck throttle cable. Polaris is contacting its customers and sending a recall letter to each registered owner.
STEERING COLUMN UJ PINCH BOLT MAT NOT BE TIGHTENED TO CORRECT SPECIFICATION
The steering column UJ pinch bolt may not have been tightened to the correct specification. Under heavy steering loads such as at low speeds movement between UJ and column is possible.
Check the tightness the steering column bolt on affected vehicles. Where necessary tighten to correct torque.
REAR BRAKE LIGHT MAY FAIL
Vibrations can cause the tail / brake light bulb socket to displace and come away from the lamp assembly.
On affected machines replace the light socket with a quality assured unit.
UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
The short hose on the pipe between the turbocharger and the intercoolers could break during the normal use of the vehicle. This could result in loss of performance and cause the check engine light to illuminate as the hose material may not conform to manufacturers specification.
Replace the short hose on the pipe between the turbocharger and the intercoolers. In some cases the replacement of the entire intercooler pipe will be necessary; this will be determined by the VIN number.
SEAT BELT RESTRAINT FUNCTION MAY BE INADEQUATE
The front passenger seatbelt stalk may become deformed. This may weaken the stalk cables and may not act as intended in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles check condition of affected belt stalks. Where necessary replace stalk and fit additional cover.
WINDOW AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The left and right airbag actuation has been swapped due to an incorrect connector assignment on the wiring harness. In a collision where the airbags are required to deploy the incorrect airbag could be deployed with the protective affect not being ensured.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the pin assignment on the airbag control plug.
LOWER BALLJOINT MAY FAIL
Water could enter the front lower suspension ball joint which can cause noise from front suspension and in worst-case failure of lower ball joint. If this occurs directional control could be impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the lower suspension arm (which includes lower ball joint).
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The electrical harness from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to side crash sensors has been incorrectly orientated. The RCM signal wire for the right hand C Pillar impact sensor is wired to the left hand C Pillar impact sensor and vice versa. In the event of a collision requiring the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the curtain airbags they may not deploy or deploy later than design intent which can lead to increased injuries to the rear outboard seat occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair the harness to change the wiring at the RCM connector.
SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID
P053 campaigned vehicles - Brake Disc to Hub Bolts where the front brake pipe from caliper to the brake flexible hose is subsequently showing signs of a chafe condition in some instances it has been reported that a noise is present or the loss of brake fluid has occurred. If the brake pipe continues to chafe through sudden loss of brake fluid could be experienced. Brake fluid loss will illuminate a red warning triangle. Brake fluid loss will ultimately result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding brake circuit increasing stopping distances. Loss of one braking circuit could compromise vehicle stability and significantly increase the risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected. Where recall campaign P053 is yet to be completed provide the P053 remedy and ensure that the specified clearances are achieved following completion of the P053 recall remedy. In the case of vehicles that have already had recall campaign P053 completed the dealer will ensure the correct clearances are achieved. If there are any signs of damage to the left hand right hand or both sides of the front brake pipe the damaged pipe will be replaced.
SRS DID NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS AS INTENDED
When connected to Jaguar Land Rover�s Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) device and an update is unsuccessfully undertaken the calibration may default to a pre-set condition. In the event of a frontal impact of a sufficient severity to require the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the front airbags the airbags will deploy but at impact thresholds that exceed those which provide the required occupant protection. Failure of the airbags to deploy as required can lead to increased injuries to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the RCM with the latest software.
PARTICLE FILTER BRACKET MAY DETACH
There is a possibility the clamp between the particle filter and the front exhaust pipe is not closed fully due to an unfavourable tolerance pairing.The particle filter could become detached from the exhaust pipe when travelling over bumps for example. This can then cause exhaust gas to leak out and rattling noises. If this happens the customer will notice an exhaust smell and the pre-mentioned noise.
Affected vehicles will be recalled so the clamp can be checked. Where necessary relevant components will be replaced.
FUEL TANK MAY CRACK / RISK OF FIRE
Some vehicles may have been manufactured with fuel tanks that do not meet Polaris quality standards. As a result the fuel tank may crack resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may present a fire hazard.
A new updated fuel tank will be fitted to affected vehicles to replace the original tank.
BRAKES MAY FAIL

SOME OCCUPANT SAFETY SYSTEMS MAY MALFUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
Due to incorrect wiring assembly the vehicles main power supply is disconnected after airbag deployment. This will affect the operation of vehicle safety functions such as automatically unlocking doors. The SRS systems are still functional.
On affected vehicles carry out manufacturer's recommended modification.
FRONT BRAKE DISC MAY BECOME INSECURE
One or more of the front brake disc retaining screws may loosen. This may be identified by rattling and may affect the brake's efficiency. In extreme instances the brake disc could detach.
On affected machines remove the brake disc and retaining screws. If necessary replace damaged components. In all cases apply thread lock to the disc retaining screws and tighten to the correct specification.
