Update: 2024 Polaris Ranger, ProXD, Bobcat Recalled Over Injury Hazard

Polaris is recalling about 2,500 model year 2024 Ranger Recreational Off-Road Vehicles (ROVs) and ProXD and Bobcat Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) over concerns that “the vehicles’ passenger side seat belt anchor point can separate from the frame due to a defective weld on the bracket, posing an injury hazard to passengers from impact with a loose bracket or failure of the seatbelt during a crash,” according to the CPSC [1.].

Affected Ranger ROVs were sold in blue, bronze, camouflage, gray, green, tan and white, and in three- and six-seat configurations. The ProXD vehicles have gray plastic body panels with black frame/accents. The Bobcat vehicles have black side panels with white and orange accents.

The Ranger ROVs and ProXD UTVs have the word “POLARIS” stamped on the front grille and the Bobcat vehicles have the Bobcat logo on the front grille. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for the Ranger, ProXD and Bobcat vehicles is located on a portion of the left rear frame on the driver’s side of the vehicle, under the cargo box.

If you purchased a Polaris vehicle that is affected by this recall, you should stop carrying passengers in it and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and, if needed, a free repair. Polaris is contacting all registered owners directly.

This recall began on December 5, 2024.
