Polaris GENERAL in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Polaris GENERAL is named on 9 Canadian notices, 5 European and 3 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.

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.
