Polaris 2023 RANGER Vehicles Recall: Fire and Crash Hazards
Polaris recalls 2023 RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar models due to fire and crash risks from brake line issues. Affected vehicles may need immediate repair to prevent overheating and accidents.
An improperly installed center brake line can cause the rear brake circuit to remain pressurized during operation, resulting in overheated brakes and reduced braking performance, posing fire and crash hazards.
