Polaris Ranger 900: Structure
Affects Polaris Ranger 900 · 2015 — about 3K vehicles.
The hazard
Certain side-by-side UTV’s were manufactured with insufficient fasteners for a rear close off panel bracket. Over time, this could cause the bracket to become loose or dislodged, which could allow for debris to accumulate near the exhaust path, increasing the risk of a fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install additional shielding to ensure the bracket and panel remain in place. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the defect has been repaired.
