What this recall means for you
A headlight relay in certain Slingshot motorcycles may fail, causing the headlights to go out while you are riding. Losing headlights can reduce your ability to see the road ahead and be seen by other drivers, which increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will replace the single headlight relay with a circuit that uses two headlight relays. Owners will be notified by Polaris, or you can contact Slingshot customer service at 1-855-863-2284 and reference recall number SLI-15-05.
