The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a recall for a particular type of off-road and all-terrain vehicle.
The ACCC have advised that the Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic side by side vehicles with model year 2023-24 were recalled due to high voltage cables on the motor controller unit becoming loose on affected vehicles, resulting in an electrical arc or overheating, causing a fire or unintended acceleration.
There is a risk of serious injury, death and/or property damage from fire, or a crash resulting from unintended acceleration, if the cable becomes loose.
Consumers are advised to stop using affected vehicles immediately and to contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment for vehicle repair.
A Vehicle Identification Number list of affected vehicles is available by heading to the product safety government website.
