Polaris General 1000: Steering
Affects Polaris General 1000 · 2016–2017 — about 2K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain side-by-side UTV’s, the steering shaft may move along the power steering splines, and in some circumstances, the shaft may move far enough to separate from the splines. If the shaft were to separate from the splines during vehicle operation, it would result in a loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace and increase the torque of the fastener used to attach the steering shaft to the spline. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their UTV until the recall repair has been performed.
