Polaris Recalls Snowmobiles Due to Loss of Control Hazard
What was recalled
This recall involves 2009 Polaris 800 Assault RMK 146 snowmobiles model numbers S09PL8EE and S09PL8ES. "Assault 800" is printed on the snowmobile's hood. "Polaris" is written on the seat. The model number is located on the right side of the tunnel below the seat. The snowmobiles are red and black.
Hazard
