Concern

Risk of fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

In the event of an engine misfire unburned fuel can be routed into the exhaust system which can cause excessive exhaust heat that may pose a fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected vehicles.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and install a revised EU calibration to detect misfire and prevent excessive exhaust temperatures.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Polaris RZR in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Polaris RZR is named on 36 Canadian notices, 19 European and 14 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The Canadian register

The European register

The Israeli 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.

Polaris elsewhere in this register

Polaris is named on 80 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: RISK OF FIRE

107 notices in this register name RISK OF FIRE. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, 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 /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
