Recalls/Service Bulletins

Quote from xd675x

Hit me up with you VIN# if you want a list of what will need to be done (or call your preferred dealer).

Do you have a hard copy file of this list of fixes, sorted by VIN, or is there a website we can go to do our own nosing around?

Is this a "I'm driving the truck until I get it fixed," or what?

And how is Polaris planning to reach out to all of their owners, on what timeline?

Could you give us an idea as to the year/years this represents.

You can look it up here:
On-Road Product Safety Recalls - Search by VIN
It looks like a clip for the fuel line which looks easy, the headlight harness which is older and replacing the swingarm which is a biggie.

Oh dear... Maybe I can just get a new one ala RD style...

I pulled a few random selections... If you will notice they now have differentiated the models based on physical characteristics ... Mine is highlighted in red as it has huge nuts...

Dec 2014 build is T-16-03-A Fuel Line Replace Clip Inspect and also T-16-06-EA Swing Arm replacement

@xd675x, thanks for the heads up and @Flybuddy, thanks for the link. Mine will need fuel clip and swing arm when I get to Florida.

My Blue Fire LE is both of those, plus a "Stat-O-Seal" replacement , whatever that is.

Swing arm replacement. What the actual fuck is that about? They're a little misaligned, or they're at risk of falling off? Seems I read something on this forum about someone having a swing arm disconnect from the body, but in order to be pushed into a recall, Polaris must have been made aware of a higher number of occurrences or a higher risk. Anyone heard anything to that effect?

A few swingarms have broken, most likely bad castings. I'm always good with new parts on the old beast. I just wonder if they are replacing the axle bearings in the swap or reusing the old ones.
I'm a little concerned about replacing my nuts.

I just had the axle and the bearings replaced a few weeks ago at 38,000 miles on warrenty.

I have 2016.5, and by vin, I need the stat-o-seal, the fuel line clip, and the swingarm............ Oh, and a brake master cylinder which is on order. I have a call into the dealer now. I was up there this AM. Recalls must have gone on-line, after he plugged my sling into the computer!
Thank you SO much for the heads up @xd675x Wouldn't have known for weeks without your help!

They can't possibly be replacing the actual swingarm on all SLingshots sold .........

Thank you!

Here's the thing that's really got me twisting, though. An automotive recall usually occurs after a certain number of incidents, followed by research done against major dealers and service centers, to get an idea of he boundaries of the issue, and then a process (fast or slow, depending) where the company determines risk, exposure, benefits, and equities.

This doesn't feel like that. This feels....rushed. And there's not even any information (on any of the recalls) as to what the actual problems with those components are. Seems highly irregular. Just sayin'.

so- where the heck is the stat-o-seal used on the sling?

Curious myself. @rabtech, you know what that is?

Saw that. Bunch of mealy-mouthed bullshit that doesn't really say anything. Nice CYA job. Be nice if anyone was talking about modes of failure, risks to machine or rider, limitations prior to repair, stuff like that.
