THERE IS A RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP FOR SAFETY REASONS AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING DATES THAT POLARIS WILL HAVE THE FUEL PUMP. FIRST IT WAS MID-FEBRUARY AND AS OF TODAY WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID POLARIS HAS REMOVED THE DATE AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN THERE WILL BE ONE REPLACED PER THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTED PUMP. I GUESS THE BIKE HAS TO STALL WHILE I AM USING IT CAUSING A CRASH BEFORE POLARIS FEELS THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING. *TR

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.
