2011 Victory Cross Country recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Polaris is recalling certain model year 2011 victory Cross Country motorcycles manufactured from january 1, through april 11, 2011. The handlebar clamps and/or risers may have been machined incorrectly which could cause the handlebars to slip in the clamps.
💥 The risk
This could cause the operator to lose control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will test and replace defective riser/clamp assemblies, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 17, 2011. Owners may contact victory consumer service at 1-888-704-5290.
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.)
