Matched catalog product: Polaris XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Editon. Source model text: Ranger Crew 1000. Incident: My brother purchased a new side-by-side UTV model 2023 Polaris Ranger 1000. Over a two day period, three people in my family cut their legs getting out of the rear seat. There is a sharp corner in the plastic door frame. It kept happening to a new person, and some of the cuts were deep. They were simply stepping out of the vehicle. I took pictures of each injury, and took pictures of the sharp corner.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210729-021E2-2147361510. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Polaris XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Editon. Source model text: XP turbo 1000. Incident: The primary clutch separated and pieces detached, which shredded the drive belt and left me stranded. This is the same condition and problems that Polaris is experiencing with different models, and issued a recall. The recall needs to extend to other models such as mine, due to the risk of injury by the large sections of material that detaches from the clutch and may strike someone if they exit the plastic housing due to the high velocity. I brought my machine to the dealership for analysis because it only has 650 miles on it, and Polaris only agreed to replace the defective part, and all additional damage it caused along with the labor was not going to be covered. The dealership estimated that it would cost me almost $1200, which should not be my responsibility due to their defective part. This should be a mandatory recall before someone is seriously injured. The recall on the other models are due to the exact same problems I experienced, and the injuries that were reported.

Source model text: General 1000 VIN: [REDACTED. Incident: My 2019 Polaris General burst into flames while working on a farm. Polaris sent out an engineer and said it was not a manufacturing defect, and was mostly like caused by a field burn that was out of control. I have a video showing the Polaris on fire and there is no field burn going on. The burning Polaris ended up setting a grass fire and the Fire Department was called to put it out. Polaris is denying the case for a refund or compensation for my vehicle.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20191026-B72BA-2147376935. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: Polaris XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Editon (2018 Polaris XP1000 Trails and Rocks Edition This is a UTV designed for off road use.). Incident: This is a basic recap of the safety incident report sent to Polaris. I was driving a trail with some side hills and turned down a steep 100 yard long hill crawling at 3-5mph with foot on brake in 4 low/AWD. Then my brake pedal goes down an inch. I pump it and get most of pedal back. A few feet later I loose brakes and take a fast ride with brake pedal to the floor and using what engine braking I had. I finally stopped at the bottom after a hard turn on two wheels into a V ditch crossing. The left front fender was damaged from the side of the ditch where it stopped. Pulled fender screw backer nut through the plastic and some deep body scratches. I got out and inspected the brake fluid level thinking the master cylinder must have failed or brake line. The fluid was slightly low. I looked at the back side of wheels for signs of brake fluid leaks. Nothing on the rig wet. Then I see a mangled brake pad and backing plate laying inside the right rear wheel. First look at the outside of the wheel and I see the hub cap is gone and the wheel/hub are out of the bearing at a bad angle. At first I thought the castle nut had somehow backed off shearing the cotter key. After getting a ride out for a jack and some larger tools than I normally carry I took it apart on the trail. I was shocked to find the brake caliper was all that was holding the hub and wheel on because the end of the stub axle that is threaded was completely sheared off. The hub chewed up the outer brake pad as it became wedged when the rotor and hub were separating from the axle and bearing. The hub was completely out of
