• Polaris RZR
• Polaris Ranger

Polaris Off-Road Vehicle Defects Endanger Consumers

According to the CPSC, Polaris knew as early as 2013 that a manufacturing defect was causing some of its vehicles to catch fire. Yet, it was not until our 15-year-old client died as the result of a Polaris RZR fire in 2015 that Polaris finally made a sweeping recall of the vehicles. Even this reaction took months.

As of this writing, Polaris has recalled around half a million vehicles, and yet, fires continue to happen. Certain vehicles from the current model year have already been recalled for fire hazards, among other failures. In the last decade, Polaris was behind 40 of 110 off-road vehicle recalls, far more than any other company. Polaris vehicles have caused more than 250 fires, in excess of 30 severe injuries, and at least 4 deaths. A Polaris RZR was also responsible for a 15-acre forest fire in American Fork Canyon. This 2019 article from the New York Times profiled some of the victims of these tragic fires.

Most recently, Eric Olson, was interviewed by Mike Headrick of KSL about the fact that Polaris RZR fires continue to happen and endanger users.

We Won’t Quit Until Polaris Does

Despite Polaris’ recalls, some Polaris RZRs are still spontaneously catching fire. Riders are suffering serious burn injuries that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Polaris has issued additional recalls of vehicles with model years through 2021. In December of 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a statement that users of vehicles were still reporting total-loss fires caused by vehicles that had been repaired per Polaris’ recall instructions.

In April 2018, Polaris settled with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission over allegations that the company failed to immediately report defective models, despite having such information. Immediately following this settlement, Polaris issued an expanded recall of the RZR XP 1000 for model years 2014-2018. Multiple people have been injured in RZR fires since these recalls.
