Polaris Phoenix 200 ATVs Recalled for Crash Hazard

Polaris is recalling about 13,000 model year 2011–2021 Phoenix 200 ATVs because the throttle speed control stop can break and become stuck, posing a crash hazard. The company has received 18 reports of throttle stop failure including one crash with minor injury.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source reports one crash with a minor injury and 18 total reports of throttle failure. The hazard involves loss of vehicle control (crash risk), which is a risk-of-harm scenario with injury already reported, meeting the "High" threshold even though no serious or life-threatening injury has been documented.
