Here is the factual recall information record for the consumer safety database.

Recall Summary
Polaris Industries Inc., of Medina, Minnesota, is recalling certain Model Year 2023-2025 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar and Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew Recreational Off-Road Vehicles (ROVs). The recall was published on May 15, 2025. The recall notice states that the lower seat belt anchor fasteners were not properly tightened on the affected vehicles. The firm has identified two vehicles with loose seat belt fasteners. No injuries have been reported.

Affected Products
The recall involves specific VINs of Polaris Model Year 2023-2025 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar and Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Crew ROVs. The recalled vehicles were sold in black, blue, brown, camouflage, gray, orange, red, tan, and white. The vehicles were sold in three-seat and six-seat configurations and have “POLARIS” stamped on the front grille. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is printed on the left rear frame (on the driver’s side of the vehicle) under the cargo box. Approximately 640 units are affected in the United States, and about 24 units were sold in Canada. The vehicles were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from August 2022 through March 2025 for between $28,000 and $38,000.

Hazard Information
The hazard identified in the recall notice is that the lower seat belt anchor fasteners were not properly tightened. This condition can result in the seat belt separating from the vehicle frame, failing to protect riders. Without that protection, riders can be ejected from the vehicle in a crash, posing an injury hazard.

Consumer Action Required
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair at the dealer’s location. Polaris advises that consumers may continue to operate the recalled ROVs prior to inspection and repair at the dealer, only if they conduct an inspection by following the Seat Belt Fastener Verification Instructions located on the firm’s website. To continue operating the recalled ROVs prior to getting the repair, the fasteners must be secure where the seat belt anchor is attached to the vehicle frame. Polaris has contacted registered owners directly.

Official Remedy
The official remedy is a free inspection and repair of the lower seat belt anchor fasteners at an authorized Polaris dealer.
