STOP RIDE NOTICE: 2022 Polaris Matryx-- Merged the four threads together- Murph

Anyone know anything about this recall? I just noticed it when logged into "my garage" on Polaris' website.

S-22-01 : STOP SALE/RIDE THROTTLE LEVER

 

[idahosledder]

Just got an email with a stop ride notice for the throttle release switch.
Makes it sound like they don't even have a fix figured out yet.
This season just gets better and better.

Polaris Industries Inc. is issuing a Stop Ride notice to affected vehicle owners of Model Year 2022 MATRYX RMK, INDY, SWITCHBACK, VOYAGEUR, and NORDIC Pro units because we have determined that the throttle release switch (TRS) can fail to disengage when the throttle lever is released, undetected by the operator. If a stuck throttle condition occurs and the TRS fails to disengage, it can lead to loss of vehicle control, posing a crash hazard and risk of serious injury.

I just posted this as well.
Mine says do not ride until they have a fix.

That will be right up my alley

yep - I just got it too damn it.

Don't some guys actively disable the TSS? I've got 240 miles on mine and throttle action feels smooth, dont feel any "kinks"

 

[zaasman]

Ah, I just got the email about it.

• The throttle cable may be kinked during installation
• The throttle release switch (TRS) can fail to disengage

When I installed my finger throttle, I noticed that the throttle cable routing had a couple tight bends. I wonder if that's related. I actually tweaked mine a bit, both to avoid the tight bends and to better accommodate the finger throttle. Didn't notice any unruly kinks, I'll keep riding.

I just got told to shutter down too. ?

Doesn't appear the Product Safety Recall page is updated, yet. Looked up by VINs and product model for two of my 2022s that are referenced in the message. FWIW. Don't rely on it, yet.

 

[zaasman]

Here's the bends I'm talking about. Top one right after the barrel adjuster, bottom right before the throttle body termination. Not good spots for tight bends. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but just seems wrong to me.

 

[volcano buster]

How soon until they go drive-by-wire like my F150?

 

[idahosledder]

My vin was listed on the email I received so I assume it's affected.
I'm starting to have flashbacks of the wonderful 2005 900rmk anniversary special fiasco.

It'll be fine on the RMK's we've got a factory tether this year

Riding out on a trail this past weekend, my Matryx throttle got stuck wide open heading into a turn. Kill switch and brakes saved me from piling into a bunch of trees. Scared the **** out of me!

Pull the hood and check cable routing.

I moved my throttle cable to the other side of the coolant hose when I put on the SLP head. I thought it looked wrong when I was putting it back together. So i just rerouted it. Works great.

That looks like it makes sense

I feel like at this point a Russian Yugo is a more reliable product then a Polaris snowmobile. A ridiculously over engineered fuel pump that wasn’t even necessary and now a poorly designed throttle cable or cable routing that could literally get you killed. The boost clutch that appears more likely then not is going to fail early. Not to mention last years 3.5” track drivers that had no chance of working long term.
The good thing about not getting my sled yet is Polaris might have some of this fixed before I get mine.
