Recall 06V059000 · manufacturer campaign V-06-01

What's wrong

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.

The 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.

The fix

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.

Vehicles covered by this recall

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Is this car's recall fixed?

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
