Polaris Industries, Inc. "Polaris" is recalling certain 2017 Slingshot, Slingshot SL, and Slingshot SLR vehicles.

Reduced steering and/or suspension performance can affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected nuts and bolts, tightening them correctly, free of charge. The recall began on March 23, 2017. Owners may contact Polaris customer service at 1-855-863-2284. Polaris' number for this recall is T-17-01.
