2011
--
Polaris is recalling certain
model year 2004-2011 Victory
Kingpin motorcycles and
model year 2006-2011 Victory
Jackpot motorcycles
manufactured from January 1,
2004, through May 1, 2011,
equipped with accessory
seats, part numbers
2876641-01 seat, Kingpin
Touring, Double Backrest and
part number 2875961-01 seat,
Jackpot Touring w/backrest.
The backrest support can
separate from the motorcycle
while in use. The passenger
can be injured or fall from
the motorcycle should this
occur. Victory will notify
owners and dealers will
replace the affected seats
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin
on or before August 30,
2011. 11V-346
JUNE 2011 -- Polaris is recalling certain
model year 2009-2011 Indian
motorcycles for failing to
conform to the requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 123,
"Motorcycle Controls and
Displays." The side stand
may not fold rearward and
upward if it contacts the
ground when the motorcycle
is moving forward. If the
stand does not fold rearward
and upward while the
motorcycle moves forward,
the driver's ability to
control the motorcycle could
be affected, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the side stand
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin
during August 2011.
11V-344
JUNE 2011 -- Polaris is recalling certain
model year 2009-2011 Indian
motorcycles for the body
control module (BCM) which
can cause the headlight to
turn off in some
circumstances. If the
headlight switch is slowly
moved from one position to
another (high beam to low
beam or low beam to high
beam), both beams may be on
momentarily and the BCM
interprets this as an
overload condition. The BCM
turns off the headlight
until the next time that the
key is turned on. The
unexpected loss of headlight
function could impair a
driver's visibility,
increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will replace
the BCM free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to
begin during August 2011.
11V-343
JUNE 2011 -- Polaris is recalling certain
model year 2011 Victory
Cross Country motorcycles
manufactured from January 1,
through April 11, 2011. The
handlebar clamps and/or
risers may have been
machined incorrectly which
could cause the handlebars
to slip in the clamps. This
could cause the operator to
lose control, increasing the
risk of a vehicle crash.
Polaris will notify owners,
and dealers will test and
replace defective
riser/clamp assemblies, free
of charge. The safety recall
began on June 17, 2011.
11V-305
SEPTEMBER
2008 -- Polaris is
recalling 2,444 MY 2008
Victory Vision motorcycles.
The terminal nuts that
secure the main power supply
wires could be loose at the
circuit breaker, which can
cause an unexpected loss of
electrical power to the
motorcycle. Also the current
fuel ignition map
pre-programmed into the
engine control module (ECM)
can cause engine stalling.
Either condition could cause
the engine to stall,
increasing the risk of a
loss of control of the
motorcycle or a crash.
Dealers will inspect and
tighten the circuit breaker
terminal nuts and re-program
the ECM free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin
during October 2008. Owners
may contact Polaris/Victory
at 1-888-704-5290. 08V-446 |
