Hazard
The snowmobile wiring harness may be routed in a way that could disconnect the engine stop switch and the throttle safety switch connector. If this connector becomes unplugged, the engine stop and the throttle safety switches will no longer function. This could pose a possible crash hazard. However, the keyed ignition switch will continue to function and will shut down the vehicle when the key is in the OFF position. The thumb warmer and right-hand warmer could also become unplugged under these harness-routing conditions.
Remedy
Free repair. Contact your Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment to install a jumper wire and secure existing wiring harness. Polaris has notified consumers directly about this recall.
Units
About 11,560
Incidents / injuries
Polaris has received one report of the switches becoming disconnected. No injuries have been reported.
