Polaris Patriot 9R MATRYX PRO RMK and Patriot 9R MATRYX RMK KHAOS Snowmobiles
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The primary (drive) clutch can fail and can cause the clutch or clutch components to come loose, posing an injury hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
