Polaris Slingshot: Wheels
Affects Polaris Slingshot · 2020–2021 — about 32 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, the wheel studs on the rear axle may not have been assembled correctly. As a result, the rear wheel nuts could loosen over time. If this happens, the wheel could separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle. Corrective Action: Polaris will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the rear axle and wheel stud assembly, as necessary.
