Polaris Snowmobiles recalled due to fire risk

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recently posted a recall on its website for 14,885 of Polaris’ 2022-2023 MATRYX RMK KHAOS and PRO snowmobiles.

Polaris Industries says it received 164 reports of brake system failure and 22 reports of fires related to the recall so far. The fire hazard is caused when both the brake and throttle are pressed simultaneously.

Polaris asks owners to immediately stop using the snowmobiles and seek a free repair. Consumers can reach Polaris at (800) 765-2747 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday. They may check the company’s website to find out if their vehicle identification number (VIN) is included in any recalls.

Top recalls for week of 5/8 include snowmobiles, children’s robes

Several popular companies, retailers and manufacturers announced top recalls last week for products that may pose injury to consumers.

Who would hit the gas and brake and not realize that might not be a good practice

LOL! I had a friend, who is now dead, that used to blast the trails so hard, doing that exact same thing! He rode so hard one day down by Sagola, we had to find him some synthetic brake fluid. Crazy!

VERY common. Watch a video of a guy like Burandt ride. The brake light is on almost the entire time.
