2000–2001 Victory V92 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
