This could result in a reduction of steering and front suspension performance which in turn increases the chances of a crash.

Polaris will contact the owners of the 254 affected units asking them to bring their Slingshots to their nearest dealerships. Dealers will replace the affected nuts and bolts free of charge and will ensure the new parts are as tight as regulations state they need to be.
