Polaris Trail Performance: Some Snowmobiles May Pose A Risk Of Fire Due To Electrostatic Discharge (esd) Inside The Fuel Tank

Recall Summary Polaris is recalling 6 snowmobiles (Trail Performance, Matryx, and Axys models) distributed in the United Kingdom because degraded fuel in the tank can create a fire risk through electrostatic discharge, particularly after the vehicle has been in storage. To address this issue, Polaris has developed a fuel pump assembly update procedure, and owners should ensure their fuel tank is full with fresh gasoline if they need to operate the snowmobile.
