Polaris Off-Road Vehicle Hazards Pose Risks to Users in California 

Polaris has been aware of the fire hazards associated with certain RZR models since at least 2011. It was only after a tragic incident in 2015, which resulted in the death of a 15-year-old client due to a Polaris RZR fire, that the company initiated a comprehensive vehicle recall. This reaction, however, was sluggish and delayed by several months.   

The problematic Polaris models include:  

• 2011 – Current RZR 900 (2-Seater, 4-Seater, and Trail, including “RZR S”) 
• 2014 – Current RZR 1000 (2-Seater and 4-Seater, including “RZR XP” and “RZR S”) 
• 2016 – Current RZR Turbo (2-Seater and 4-Seater, including “RZR XP”). 

To date, Polaris has recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles, yet incidents of RZRs catching fire continue to occur. Since 2013, there have been over ten separate recalls of RZR models due to fire risks. The resulting fires have led to the burning of significant expanses of land, over 30 serious injuries, and at least 13 fatalities. A 2019 article by the New York Times highlighted the stories of victims, including our clients, affected by these fires. Our attorneys have frequently been featured by news outlets for their work on RZR fire cases, with Eric Olson recently speaking to Mike Headrick of KSL about this ongoing issue.  

Relentless Pursuit of Justice with Polaris RZR Fires 

Despite a series of Polaris recalls, numerous RZR units are still unexpectedly bursting into flames. This ongoing issue has resulted in riders enduring severe burn injuries, leaving lasting impacts on their lives. Polaris has continued to announce further recalls for models up through the 2021 production year. 

• In December 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission highlighted ongoing total-loss fires in vehicles purportedly repaired under recall mandates. 
• In April 2018, Polaris reached a settlement with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission over allegations of delayed reporting of faulty models despite awareness of the issues. 
• Shortly after the settlement, Polaris expanded its recall to include additional RZR XP 1000 models spanning from 2014 to 2018. 
• Numerous individuals have suffered injuries linked to RZR fires post-recall announcements. 

These alarming incidents emphasize the need for enhanced safety measures and accountability from Polaris. Holding the company responsible is crucial to prevent further harm and to protect consumers. Pursuing justice for victims remains a priority for our California Polaris vehicle fire attorneys, and we are accepting Polaris claims nationwide.
