Polaris hit with $27.25 million penalty for failing to report vehicle problems

...and I’m sure they have known this was coming for the last couple of years. Look at the time line in the article. This is probably the real reason they killed Victory... along with all of the recalls and law suits. It’s hard to believe anyone would buy those vehicles after visiting any of the off road forums where owners of these products post. I’ve been seeing these issues on their SxSs and ATVs posted since they first started. First one I remember seeing was an owner who pulled his RZR into his attached garage. Went in the house. A few mins later his RZR was in flames along with a good portion of his garage. Luckily, he caught it early enough. Pushed the RZR out and put out the fire in his garage before It did much damage to his house, but the RZR was a total loss.

They haven’t had as many issues, but I’m sure Can Am is next. They have had several issues with fires and melted parts (body plastics and air boxes)

Anyone ever hear of a Vic going up in flames? I havent.....

Sounds like they tried to hide it. A fire is the worst problem to have on any vehicle. It's especially worse when a lot of these are parked in people's garages.

This part jumped out at me.

CEO Scott Wine in a statement. "Rooted in our long-standing commitment to our customers and dealers .........."
Yup, just ask any Victory owner or dealer.
