Customer Notification Letter, 2003 800 RMK Vertical Escape Safety Bulletin S-03-07January 22, 2003
Dear Polaris Snowmobile Owner:
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Polaris Industries Inc. is conducting a voluntary safety recall of all 2003 800 RMK Vertical Escape snowmobiles.
This letter is to notify you that Polaris Industries Inc. has determined that some of the steering posts on the Vertical Escape model may have a defect in the weld in the area of the top washer guide. This defect can result in breakage and separation of the handlebar from the steering post. If this separation occurs a loss of steering control may occur. This could cause the driver to lose control of the snowmobile and crash, possibly resulting in injury or death.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR SNOWMOBILE UNTIL ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED!
Please contact an authorized Polaris snowmobile dealer immediately to arrange to have the steering post replaced. Authorized Polaris dealers have been issued a Safety Alert Bulletin, S-03-07, that describes the required replacement and repair procedures. The dealer will replace the steering post. This work will be performed at no charge to you.
This notice was sent to you according to the most current information we have available. If you no longer own this snowmobile, please provide us with the name and address of the current owner, or notify us that you do not have this information.
If you have any questions about this notice, or need assistance with contacting a Polaris Dealer, please call 1-800- POLARIS or visit the Polaris web site at
