Concern

Fuel may escape from the fuel tank

Defect, as DVSA words it

Polaris Industries Inc. (Polaris) have issued a STOP ride and STOP sale notice on a small number of machines. These machines were manufactured with a fuel tank vent line end location in the headlight pod which may result in liquid fuel exiting the vent line and create a risk of fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected machines fit a new and rerouted vent pipe.

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.
