AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

  • NHTSA recall #06V298000August 7, 20062,523 vehicles affected

    power train: manual transmission

    Certain my 2001 Victory V92 motorcycles, and 1999-2000 V92 motorcycles that received transmission replacement kits built in 2001 Can experience a third gear failure in an abnormal overload condition such as when shifting at high rpm.

    While shifting gears at high rpm, the third gear may fail. If pieces of the failed gear become lodged in the transmission, the transmission could lockup possibly resulting in loss of control and a crash.

    Remedy

    Dealers will install a rear sprocket damper assembly free of charge. The recall began on november 22, 2006. Owners may contact Polaris at 763-417-8650.
