What NHTSA investigated

We opened this PE after receiving an allegation of a sudden, catastrophic, right front wheel failure.Since opening it, we have met with dealer service personnel, interviewed owners, monitored various web forums, and requested information from Polaris.We are unaware of any additional wheel failures occurring in the six months since we began investigating this subject.Currently, no actionable defect trend exists which would justify continuing to investigate this matter.Consequently, this PE is closed.We will continue to monitor owner complaints, web forums, EWR data, etc and, if warranted by new facts, we will reopen an investigation.
