Polaris Industries Ranger XP Kinetic Recreational Off-Road Vehicles (ROVs)
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Pressing the brake and throttle pedals simultaneously can deactivate the throttle. If the brake is then released, the vehicle can move and the throttle can still be deactivated, posing a crash hazard and risk of serious injury.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Serious injuries are a stated risk.
