Why it was recalled
Stop using this product now
The throttle release switch (TRS) can fail to disengage when the throttle lever is released and if a stuck throttle condition occurs when the TRS fails to disengage, it can lead to loss of vehicle control, posing a crash hazard. Additionally, on certain Model Year 2022 MATRYX RMK snowmobiles, the throttle cable can be kinked during installation, which can lead to damage of the throttle cable during operation and impairment of the throttle function, posing a crash hazard.
Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
Reports so far: Polaris has received four reports of kinked throttle cables and three reports of a stuck throttle. No injuries have been reported.
