Polaris has recalled certain RZR and other general recreational off-highway vehicles because the vehicle engine can misfire and the temperatures of the exhaust and nearby components can get too hot and cause the components to melt, and/or a contaminated brake master cylinder may cause unintended brake drag, posing burn and fire hazards.
Remedy: Repair
