Defect. CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) DECAL LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRONT DOWN TUBE OF THE FRAME INCORRECTLY LISTS THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) FOR THE FRONT AXLE AS 405 POUNDS. THE CORRECT GAWR FOR THE FRONT AXLE IS 390 POUNDS.

Risk. INCORRECT DATA MAY LEAD TO OVERLOADING OF THE FRONT TIRE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE BLOW OUT CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MAIL A CORRECTIVE DECAL ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY OVER THE INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE EXISTING DECAL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 15, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT POLARIS AT 763-417-8650.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
