Safety Recall T‑19‑01

So what’s the fix? A new heavy duty fuse box?

I can see that taking weeks to fix...

Quote from Red

The 50amp main fuse, I can see it being a single fuse holder to bypass the block.

The main fuse box under the hood of the one by the battery.?

It looks like another of those catastrophic failures

Meh - I am not going to worry about it. I have had no issues so far and I suspect it will be just fine - especially considering I have not added anything in the way of additional lighting or other such things

Ok where is the battery fuse block, and I wonder how this will affect the Optima battery I installed. Original battery quit working a month after I bought my 2018 in June 2018.

.....shyt that ain't nothing some of us (including me) have upgraded to a yellow top battery and upgraded our alternator (from 140 amp to 240 amps) also with new battery cables, so I'm pushing more juice but haven't had any issues (knocking on wood)....have to wait to find out the issue and fix...

.....at the speeds I travel I'm sure I can blow a fire out

Quote from Bigdog

In the recall they say the fault can result in a " loss of forward and rear lighting, instrument cluster, or power steering assist,"

if it is the main terminal back by the battery wouldn't it cut all power if it messed up and not just lighting, the cluster and power steering?

In the J Case...the chassis circuit feeds everything chassis related. It’s a 50 amp fuse.

So how do you break up an existing circuit?

yep Mine melted down in March or April 2017 14 days after my warranty ran out. Polaris was not nice they would not cover the dealer fix. I finally contacted my attorney general cuz Maine has a law if there's a manufacturing defect within 4 years of the purchase yhe manufacturer has to cover it. Well Polaris covered about a third of the cost. I think the total cost was around six or seven hundred dollars which they paid me about 200. I had to sign off saying I would not sue them in the future for this.So I'M anxious to see if they're going to reimburse me the rest of my money. I put in a ticket just now. And before you ask I had no additional accessories added. It was completely stock when this happened.

So did they install an entirely new wiring harness?

.....would you happen to have pics of what burned or can you be a little more precise , was it that fuse block near the battery....?

No they just replaced the entire fuse block but it was in the shop for 6 or 7 weeks. I was not a happy camper. Besides not paying for the entire fix I also had to Rent-A-Car to get home which cost $140 in addition to the fix. Yes fuse box next to battery 50 amp fuse. The fuse did not blow resulting in the Meltdown

So they replaced it for you in 2017 & it's been fine since......?

yes it's been fine since which is about 35,000+ miles worth of riding

....so this is something they knew about for a couple of years and I guess they were waiting to see who else had this issue......so now they replaced yours but I would like to know if they replaced it with the same fuse block or a different one in 2017......questions questions questions
