Summary:
      Polaris Industries, Inc. "Polaris" is recalling certain 2016-2017 GEM E2, E4, E6, and ELXD vehicles. The drive mode switch can send an incorrect signal, causing the vehicle to become inoperative or go in the opposite direction than intended.
Consequence:
      If the operator intends to go forward, but the vehicle reverses instead, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy:
      Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drive mode system with one that has separate inputs for each position "forward, neutral and reverse", free of charge. The recall began November 28, 2018. Owners may contact Polaris customer service at 1-855-863-2284. Note: This recall supersedes recall 16V-884. Vehicles previously repaired under that campaign need the repairs covered by this campaign as well.
