What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) DECAL LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRONT DOWN TUBE OF THE FRAME INCORRECTLY LISTS THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) FOR THE FRONT AXLE AS 405 POUNDS. THE CORRECT GAWR FOR THE FRONT AXLE IS 390 POUNDS.
What can happen
INCORRECT DATA MAY LEAD TO OVERLOADING OF THE FRONT TIRE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE BLOW OUT CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL MAIL A CORRECTIVE DECAL ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY OVER THE INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE EXISTING DECAL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 15, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT POLARIS AT 763-417-8650.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
