The recall involves multiple model variations across different engine sizes and configurations, including 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, and MV7 models, as well as 6X6 and 4X4 variants. Consumers can identify whether their ATV is affected by checking the model and serial numbers, which are printed on a decal at the front of the radiator (Sportsman models) or top of the front cab cover (Scrambler 500), with serial numbers also permanently stamped on the left frame rail behind the left front wheel.

According to the recall record, affected consumers should disconnect the negative (black) battery cable from the battery when the ATV is not in use. Registered owners have received direct mail notification of the recall and should contact their local Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair to address the defective ECM.
