EARTHING LUG ON ENGINE MOUNTING BOLT MAY BREAK
The cable lug of the ground line on the engine�s mounting bolt may break. If the ground connection is interrupted completely the vehicle can become completely de-energised which can lead to a sudden and for the driver unpredictable failure of the instrument panel the vehicle illumination the hazard warning system and the engine shutting down which increases the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the existing cable lug with a modified terminal lug.
STEERING COLUMN SWITCH MODULE MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
It has been identified that the lever used to select the drive range on the steering column switch module may become inoperative due to possible damage of a circuit board. In the event of this fault occurs then manual selection of the drive range (D R N P) would no longer be possible. The Auto-P function as well as the automatic parking brake will still be available as intended. During manoeuvring the vehicle may not change the drive range as intended by the driver when operating the selector lever during standstill. This could result in an increased risk of a collision/accident.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the steering column switch module.
PROTECTIVE DEVISE ON THE INVERTER MAY BE INOPERATIVE
It has been identified that the socket protective device on the inverter may be defective. This can result in the inverter socket not be protected by the residual current circuit breaker against residual current. Therefore the lack of protection can place objects and /or people in a position where they can be injured as a result of the venting of residual current.
Recall all affected vehicle to carry out a modification to the wiring/socket protection as per the manufacturer's technical bulletin.
UINTENDED DOOR OPENING
The door striker pins could be damaged/deformed to a position where it is possible for the doors/s to open when the vehicle is travelling at high speed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit reinforcement plates to the door leaf in the area of the striker pins. Exchange the bearing pins of the door drive system for equivalents of new design.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY BE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED
It has been identified there is a possibility that during production the split pin for the brake pedal cross shaft may not have been correctly installed. This could result in the reduction of braking effort due to the movement of the cross shaft.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required fit a split pin or further secure the currently installed split pin.

Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required fit a split pin or further secure the currently installed split pin.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
The wiring to the front windscreen washers may not have been correctly routed. This may cause a short circuit and render the wipers in operative.
On affected vehicles check wiring and rework where necessary.
FRONT AIRBAG MAY BE DEACTIVATED
It has been identified that the front passenger seat occupancy weight sensing system control unit may have bee incorrectly installed during assembly. If the passenger seat is placed in the rear/lower position range then it can cause the pressure hose to become kinked which will reclassify the occupant as being a child seat. This will result in the front passenger airbag being deactivated and place the occupant at a higher risk of injury if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the pressure pipe. If found to be kinked then the dealer is to contact MB Technical Department to establish the rectification process.
RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT
It has been identified that the battery positive and negative cables may chaff on a bracket/area between the engine and the gearbox. If this occurs then it can result in a short circuit with associated damage and even possibly a fire. In addition the Circuit 50 cable may also chaff and short circuit on the battery cable. This can cause the starter to engage and cause a risk to persons working around the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the cables and reroute the cabling.
RETAINING BOLT FOR INFLATABLE CURTAIN MAY BE BROKEN
The retaining bolts used to assemble the Inflatable Curtain may be broken and offer less protection in the event of an incident.
On affected vehicles replace all retaining bolts.

FRONT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The ignition module which triggers the front seat airbag may not deploy in the event of an impact. There is no indication to the driver the unit is faulty.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front seat airbag unit.
WIPERS MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED
In sub-zero weather conditions the front windscreen blades arms may become frozen to the screen. In extreme circumstances when the wipers are activated the wiper arm linkage may weaken detach or bend. Should the linkage break or bend the wipers will not clear the screen effectively.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the wiper linkage with a more robustly designed linkage.
FRONT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The ignition module which triggers the front seat airbag may not deploy in the event of an impact. There is no indication to the driver the unit is faulty.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front seat airbag unit.
CAMSHAFT MAY FAIL
Due to an error in the production process the engine camshaft may break.
Check affected vehicles and where necessary replace the camshaft.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The transmission could unexpectedly switch to the N position due to a nonconformity in the transmission wiring assembly process.
On affected vehicles reprogram the transmission control module. Where necessary replace the transmission wiring
CHAIN CONNECTING LINK MAY FAIL
The drive chain connecting link is not manufactured to specification which can lead to premature failure of the connecting link possible consequential damage and loss of drive.
Recall the machines that are likely affected and replace the drive chain connecting link.
BONDING ON WINDSCREEN IS INSUFFICIENT
On 911 Cabriolet and Targa models only the windscreen may have been fitted with insufficient bonding product. There is a possibility that the windscreen could detach from the vehicle in the event of an accident.
Recall the likely affected vehicles and rebond the windscreen.
UNINTENDED BRAKE DRAG
Polaris Industries Inc. (Polaris) have issued a stop ride stop sale notice on a small number of 2016-2017 RZR and General vehicles. It has been identified that the brake master cylinder on these machine may have been contaminated during manufacture. This can cause the front brake circuit seal to swell. The swollen seal may cause unintended brake drag resulting in a potential fire and/or burn hazard.
Recall all affected machines to check the master cylinder and replace the master cylinder if found to be defective.

ENGINE ECU SOFTWARE INCOMPLETE
Polaris Industries Inc. (Polaris) have issued a stop ride stop sale notice on some model year 2016 RZR S 1000 and General vehicles. It has been identified the Engine ECU fitted to these machines have not been installed with a misfire detection calibration. This may allow unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system which can cause excessive exhaust heat that may pose a fire hazard.
Recall all affected machines and install new software.
