The problem
On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump retainer clip may not be installed correctly.
The risk
If the retainer clip fails, the fuel pump may not provide adequate fuel pressure, or the pump may fail entirely, which can cause poor performance or possible engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new fuel pump retainer clip free of charge. The recall began on august 3, 2006. Owners may contact polaris at 763-417-8650.
