Lol. You'd better look out for good ol Carma! If I were you I'd take all that back. Haha.
2022-23 Stop Ride: (Merged threads)New “stop ride” from Polaris

Edgey,
Do you have inside info? My dealer here locally has heard nothing. BUT that’s not surprising to me?
Polaris posted a video on Facebook about the stop ride. Not a lot of information.
They said that they have a fix and are getting the parts together. No timeline was given as to when the parts would ship. Here's the video:

Love the non answer on timeframe. Seems promising.
I'd like to know how they plan on getting the amount of recalled sleds fixed in time for snowfall. I'm guessing there's going to be a LOT of sleds left out of service this season.
Glad I order two sleds. 23 Ski-Doo Expedition LE 900ace and a Poo RMK Khaos 850 155. At least I can ride one sled right off the bat this winter. If my Khaos isn't built yet, hopefully it will have the fix already...
Not sure if anyone has put this into perspective. About 230,000 units affected, 1% = 2300 units. They've stated they know of what, 30ish known cases? That's a pretty small percentage, significantly less than 1%. Lawsuits are expensive...so better to take the safer route and well here we are...
If it shows up functioning. My brothers ‘22 is still waiting on the dess system. They somehow bypassed it but you got a dang near $1000 part missing.

A big question to answer would be this, if you need to bring your "stop ride" sled in for something unrelated to the recall.. would the dealer still be allowed to fix what you need? Or are they unable to touch any recalled unit until the parts are available to be installed on the unit? I know my dealer said they cannot release any 2023 snowchecks to customers until the recall is fixed.
Here's some more information that appeared in Snowgoer:
Behind The Problem
On background, we learned from Polaris officials that there are actually three different fuel pumps that Polaris has used in its snowmobiles in different applications over the last decade. All are from the same vendor, and all have the same potential flaw.
The fix varies between the three pumps, but each one has been identified and is going through testing, we were told. Each will involve removing those fuel pumps and either replacing the fuel pump or modifying them before reinstalling.

My sled was in for preseason work and for the fuel pump recall and then this came up so they put it back in storage until a fix was figured out. I'm not sure if they WOULDN'T work on it, I was just told that they were going to wait for the fix first. It was early so I didn't push it at all at the time.
Damn, that's crazy. Bad dealer support maybe?
Last year, my Doo Summit arrived in September without a gauge. Got one 3 months later.
I was a lucky one this 23 spring order. My 23 Expedition LE 900ACE arrived with everything on it! No missing parts or changed out components either!
I've got an appointment October 10th to do the Clutch bolt and fuel sock recalls. Dealer didn't mention the no start recall.
Personally not going to panic over it.

Received a pile of letters from Polaris about the exploding gas tanks for every Polaris we ever owned, not convinced this is such a big deal or likely to happen.
Makes a good case for storing sleds with a full tank of fuel.

Polaris posted an update on Facebook about the recall. They expect to deliver most 2023 sleds by the end of the year, but some will be pushed back to 2023 deliveries.
Does anybody here know of someone whose sled burned down because of this? I know it could be hard to tell if that was the cause, but either way, it seems like more Doos have burned up in the last five years. The thing is, it sounds like a pretty unlikely event (although serious, obviously), given that the problem has existed for around ten years on untold thousands of sleds. Hopefully it's a quick in-and-out fix before the snow flies, but I wouldn't sit at home waiting for them to get their act together, if it comes to that.
If this doesn't solidify Polaris being junk I don't know what does. ? I'm sure all the fan boys don't think this a big deal. Over promise and under deliver. American manufacturing sucks nowadays. There is no other way to put it.

Spy shot photo of Polaris engineers validating the fix. Some minor changes were made to the sleds due to supply chain issues but durability won’t be affected.

I imagine being a Polaris rep at the Denver snow show next weekend is going to be miserable.
