What this recall means for you
Some 2015 Slingshot three-wheeled vehicles may have roll hoops that do not meet the required hardness specifications. The roll hoops are the structural bars designed to protect occupants if the vehicle overturns.
If the roll hoops are not strong enough, they may not provide proper protection in a rollover crash, which increases the risk of personal injury to the occupants.
Polaris will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will replace the roll hoops free of charge. To find out whether your vehicle is affected, check your vehicle identification number for open recalls. You can also contact Polaris customer service at 1-651-408-7579, referencing recall number SLI-15-01.
