Yet another stop ride....

[Teej83]

This one seems like an April Fools joke. Regardless, I guess my next sled is a Lynx or Skidoo as this is absurd. Don't issue a stop ride for something that hasn't changed in a decade ffs.

Polaris Industries Inc. is issuing a Stop Ride notice to affected owners of Model Year 2022-2023 MATRYX PRO RMK and MATRYX RMK KHAOS snowmobiles because the handlebar hooks pose a puncture hazard and risk of serious injury should the rider’s body impact the handlebar hook during a crash.

Our records indicate that you are the owner of a Polaris Snowmobile with VIN SN1TFG8R3NC828313 affected by Safety Recall S-23-01.

Polaris is currently evaluating a repair for this concern. At the time of availability, Polaris will notify dealers and reply to you by mail (and email). This work will be performed by your dealer at no cost to you. Polaris has informed the Consumer Product Safety Commission about the issue.

The matryx hooks are different than the axys, pro, dragon hooks.

Less material hanging down.

So somehow more stabby? Was there any new part they haven't recalled yet?

Is this really a thing ?

 

[mt.sledder]

looks like it's for real, shows up as a recall under maintenance in the polaris garage.

I just received another for a tether recall.....

 

[mt.sledder]

I would really like to see their explanation on why they've never addressed the real safety issue with the throttle lever icing up and sticking partially open. How this is not a bigger issue than handlebar hooks? Stop ride to keep handlebar hooks from poking your leg but nothing to stop your sled from cruising off a cliff or into a tree with a stuck throttle. WOW!!!

I got pounded by my boost last year. Flipped it over backwards and didn't have it turned. I was going to part ways but thought i could hang with it and land it on its side. Realized that wasn't happening when too late. Handlebar hook tore my lochsa and put a nasty gouge in my arm that took a couple months to heal. Had a big lump on my thigh and it knocked my helmet off. My buddy seen it happen and asked if i was alright. Then he started razzing me about not buckling my helmet. I told him that's like telling someone they should've wore their seat belt after going through the windshield. A little late for that.
I thought this was my fault. Now that i know it's polaris's fault they should buy me a new onsie.

Polaris owners cannot catch a break.

 

[diamonddave]

It’s Polaris.
Shareholder value collides with indoctrinated lawyers. If people would only identify their sleds by the proper pronouns, we could avoid these issues.
Has anyone tested bubble wrap or foam wrapped sleds?

I can’t wait for their YouTube apology tour for this one

It's just crazy to me how many things are getting addressed before the throttle block. Isn't the throttle getting stuck open the biggest safety hazard of all these?

 

[JH@CM]

Better recall and stop ride for the Khaos... it can flip over onto the rider and cause death.

News flash folks, snowmobiling is dangerous.

What's next? The track can spin fast and cause injury if you touch it? Recall to slow track speeds?!

You just can’t make this sh-t up! Are you kidding me “erotic asphyxiation”?!?!

Only p#ssies would complain about their sled being stuck wide open!

 

[JH@CM]

Photo proof of puncture wounds or it didn't happen.
