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.

On certain vehicles, the rearview camera could fail internally and overheat, creating a fire risk. This could also result in loss of tail light function. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the camera as necessary.
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 2018633.

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.
