Based on CPSC recall #10274 (https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Polaris-Industries-Recalls-Ranger-XP-1000-NorthStar-and-Ranger-XP-1000-NorthStar-Crew-Recreational-Off-Road-Vehicles-Due-to-Injury-Hazard).

Polaris Industries recalled certain Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar and Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew recreational off-road vehicles due to an injury hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on May 15, 2025. Owners should stop using the vehicles or verify seat belt fastener security before operating them.

How to tell if you have it

  • Polaris Model Year 2023-2025 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Recreational Off-Road Vehicles
  • Polaris Model Year 2023-2025 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew Recreational Off-Road Vehicles

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair at the dealer's location. Polaris advises that consumers may continue to operate the recalled ROVs prior to inspection and repair at the dealer, only if they conduct an inspection by following the Seat Belt Fastener Verification Instructions located on the firm's website.

The hazard

The lower seat belt anchor fasteners were not properly tightened, which can result in the seat belt separating from the vehicle frame, failing to protect riders. Without that protection, riders can be ejected from the vehicle in a crash, posing an injury hazard. The firm has identified two vehicles with loose seat belt fasteners.
