That will ruin your riding season! Hopefully this is being recognized by Poolaris before any serious injuries/fatalities. Manufacturers try to delay recognizing these type of problems until their hand is forced. That's gotta be tough to swallow for anyone who has bought one of these models and now is being told to park it because there isn't even an available fix yet.

Something seems a little fishy. These two problems don't seem like they'd be very difficult to release a fix for - reflash the ECU and add a hose clamp. There must be something else going on that Polaris doesn't want to admit.

You never know I know it is important for the 2016 models to be not ridden due to safety issue's but that sucks for the people the laid out that coin. As far as something else going on could it be litigation??

I was thinking more along the lines of a more serious defect that they could be embarrassed about. ...admit to the minor defect and secretly fix the major one when you bring it in for the recall.

Then again, I guess it wouldn't take very long for that kind of info to leak out.

Kind of like the class action suit a few years back with the Yamaha Rhino where the "fix" was wheel spacers?

The turbo rzr was plagued with issues since day 1 . Popo simply rushed it to market too soon ....
They know how big and lucrative the dune market is ,and wanted to keep advancing .

This is not a RECALL... its a safety thing... every manufacturer deals with it as quickly as possible.... if it was a recall they would know of a fix already....

Its funny one safety bulletin comes out and everybody freaks, working in the auto industry you guys should see how many stop sale and stop driving bulletins come out on cars and trucks, its a weekly thing and yet no one freaks out. owners will get a letter you take it to the dealer the reprogramme the ecm and bang your good ride. should happen as soon as their engineers get the software written.

I have heard the delay into the 2017 turbo may be something to compete with Brp and Cat

Yeah, I'm expecting it'll be the same as what they did the new Ace 900 with a longer, wider chassis for more room for the plumbing and heat control, and not to mention just plain more control.

Still, it's not like Polaris to completely drop a flagship like that from their website as if it doesn't exist. Somethings going on in lawyer land. Hell, the 900 Fusion lasted two seasons... jus' sayin.
