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 recall involves a risk-of-harm product (unintended vehicle movement on an incline creating a crash hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the High severity criterion. Although 12 reports of the hazard exist, no injuries or deaths have been reported, which prevents a higher classification.

Plain-English summary

Textron Specialized Vehicles is recalling Model Year 2022 and 2023 Arctic Cat Prowler Pro, Pro Crew, Tracker Off Road 800SX, and 800SX Crew side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles. Approximately 6,800 units were sold in the United States (with an additional approximately 700 sold in Canada).

The vehicles can move when on an incline and "park" is displayed on the digital dash, allowing the vehicle to roll away and posing a crash hazard. The firm has received 12 reports of vehicles moving while in the park position. No injuries have been reported.

Arctic Cat Prowler Pro and Pro Crew models were sold at Arctic Cat dealers nationwide from May 2022 through August 2023 for between $14,400 and $21,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Textron Specialized Vehicles to schedule a free repair. The repair kit will include a new shift cable bracket, shift sensor, and a decal to be placed at the dash display.
