  • Brand Polaris Industries Inc., of Medina, Minnesota

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Polaris Industries is recalling certain Model Year 2022 snowmobiles including the MATRYX RMK, INDY, SWITCHBACK, VOYAGEUR, and NORDIC PRO due to two crash hazards. The throttle release switch can fail to disengage when the throttle lever is released, potentially causing a stuck throttle condition that leads to loss of vehicle control. Additionally, on certain MATRYX RMK models, the throttle cable can become kinked during installation, which may cause damage and impair throttle function during operation.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair, which may include adjustment of the throttle control assembly and/or replacement of the throttle cable for MATRYX RMK models. Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly with more details about the repair. Consumers can determine if their vehicle is affected by entering their VIN at www.polaris.com/en-us/off-road-recalls/.
