ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Damaged terminals may result in the loss of forward and rear lighting, instrument cluster gauges, or power steering assist. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

In the event of a crash, if the seat belt does not lock, the occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES

If the brake pedal separates from the brake master cylinder, it would cause a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

SEAT BELTS

If the seat belt buckle or seat back detach from the seat base, there would be an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. If the driver's seat unexpectedly moves, it can cause the driver to lose control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2017 POLARIS SLINGSHOTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
