2 complaints about the 2001 Polaris Explorer
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Mileage is approximate I today reported repeated speedometer odometer failure on same bike so odometer reads 0 right now. This fuel pumphas not failed but I got a safety recall notice a few days ago and a notecard saying if I felt it wasn't repaired promptly I could register a complaint. Well the bike is grounded due to the hazzard of a malfunctioning fuel pump(potential) and the dealer says the new redesigned pumps are on back order so have already been grounded a few days and they have no word on when it can be fixed. Which certainly does not meet my definition of reasonable time frame. Dt
