2015-2016 Polaris Slingshot Recall (Taillight Wiring Problem)

Quote from edwardaneal

Our closest dealer is 24 miles, but the dealer where I bought my slingshot is 49 miles - - The service department at my dealer is certified at the gold so I have driven the extra distance in the past. The closed dealer is only certified bronze, but for this recall I might go there

How do you tell the dealer certification level? My local Polaris dealer didn't have any slingshots (even though the Polaris dealer locator says they have that brand) , so I drove 90 minutes. There is one 75 minutes away, but they didn't have any base models when I stopped by.

use this link - Polaris Dealer locator

It will pull up a list of dealers from the closest on out and under the address of each dealer will be the service badges like this:

if you click on a badge it brings up this chart telling what each one means

Service levels go from bronze up to gold and then there is an additional vip thing for their sales department

I am not sure if there is really much difference, but I figure since my dealer where I bought it is gold why not go there for service plus I have heard not so good things about the closest dealers service

Ah, thanks. If you select more than one "brand", then you don't see those badges, and that's where I goofed up. Thanks!

I always just select slingshot and didnt know that it wouldnt show if you selected others - thanks for sharing

My backup camera was changed a year ago and the radio reception is better --- NOT good but better. I did just get a recall notice so we'll see what this change does.

I haven't payed any attention since disconnecting our camera, maybe this weekend we'll get a chance to get out and give it a try?

Got mine yesterday....

If I am not mistaken, everybody that had a camera supplied by Polaris installed in their SlingShot before February of 2016 will receive a recall notice.............

Bill

Checked mine, I have the round one. So called T&T Power sports, they have them on order and will call for appointment.

Ok. Rode to dealership yesterday in 31 degree, cloudy, misty weather and got HeRSling ’s camera replaced. Polaris requires the tech to inspect the wiring. Seems the entire housing is changed also. New camera is slightly larger and has a tab and slot to assure the camera is straight and right side up. Not sure there is any real difference in picture but it is slightly clearer.

Now, does anybody have a picture of the "good" part?

Bill

I just thought I would ask again?

Thanks,

I got the recall notice, for my SlingShot, over here, in the UK.

They changed the camera about 1 1/2 years ago now and they told me, at that time, they knew it affected the radio.

However, with the new camera in place, the radio failed again, within 2 hrs of leaving the dealer.

I hope it works this time.

Ps. Polaris UK is much nearer my home than my dealer. Does anyone think that they may do the swap, this time?

UK_Paul , so good to hear from you again! Hope you’re medical procedures are working out well! Also, hope the camera solves your radio issues.

I'm off to Hospital tomorrow, for a few days, to get a tube fitted into my stomach, so that they can carry out peritoneal dialysis. Then further treatment will start.

At this time in spending about 20 hrs each day sleeping, as I so exhausted & that's why I haven't had much chance to be active, on the forum.

So, it looks like it will be some time yet, before I'm strong enough to get the SS recall done.

Sorry to hear that UK_Paul. Too bad none of us are closer or we could get it fixed for you.

Sending prayers across the pond.

Stay with it UK_Paul - better times are coming!

My SS can stripped down....the dealer upgraded it to the SL model....I’m wondering how the factory knows they upgraded mine...think the dealers have to let the factory know about any upgrades they Make? For recall purposes.....???
