Polaris Brutus: Brakes

Affects Polaris Brutus · 2017–2018 — about 19 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain side-by-side UTV's, the rear brake line could contact the hydraulic pump. This could cause damage to the rear brake line and cause a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak could cause reduced brake performance. Safety Risk: Reduced brake performance can cause increased stopping distances and create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install new rear trailing arms and a new brake line. The rear brake lines will be re-routed and secured as necessary.
