2017 stop sale notice. I wouldn't read more into this than "maybe" a few bolts that need changing out due to being tightened a bit to much and causing issues with steering and suspension movement. I would think that a impropper torque value was set on the equipment that is used to tighten these particular bolts during assembly. And it aounds like it was set a bit to high. IF that is the issue then they probably can't risk just having a tech loosen these and then tighten them back to a correct spec because they probably would want new bolts and lock nuts used. I don't know if that is why but it sound like that is what it's about. When I have more details they will be posted immediately. Polaris is most likely be very cautious and proactive. This is all my opinion at this point but like I said.... I will update with more details as I get them.

Oh yes. Bought the first one from my dealer.

1. One would think at this point in the game, Polaris would have assembling the Slingshot down.
2. It looks like some bolts just weren't tightened to correct specs, how damn long could that take to tighten them to the correct specs??

They're too busy trying to get a swing arm together for my recall. Lol

How long? How is tightening to the correct spec so difficult - bad tool, inattentive worker, poor QA? I don't get it. After all their recalls in the last 24 months I would have thought the 2017 would be specimens of assembly perfection

I "think" they may have the wrong strength bolts... just my thought....
So that is why I have 7/16" Tractor Supply bolts holdin my A-Arms. Who da thunk.

I'm am probably in that pool of model numbers ~> UGH! So, should I wait to get my wheels aligned then? I have about 2.5k miles on the rubber now and "may" score a free alignment as part of their fix??!!

I'd wait until recall is complete before alignment for sure!

I don't believe so... but I will certainly call!

Polaris be like...
THIS SUCKS!!!

I wouldn't expect that Polaris would cover a really good alignment .... maybe the 2x4 method but not laser. After you little accident the other day I'm not sure if I would get the alignment now or later

I would still do the laser but after the recall has been done
