Polaris SLINGSHOT in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Polaris SLINGSHOT is named on 15 American notices, 4 British and 4 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall RM/2016/044: Polaris Slingshot 3-WHEEL Motorcycle (1. brakes may fail. 2. risk of fire. 3. loss of control)
- DVSA recall RM/2018/012: Polaris Slingshot 3-WHEEL Motorcycle (Seat base frame may be defective)

The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 111 – Mirrors and Rear Visibility Systems. The rear view image can be temporarily obscured by the ‘settings’ screen and/or a radio volume graphic box if the rider changes those settings prior to shifting into reverse, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could increase the risk of property damage or injury to nearby pedestrians in the event the driver does not check surroundings through traditional means. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle software.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2018350.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Polaris Slingshot, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Polaris: 197 in the register, and 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
