Well it's about ...TIME!!!!!!!!.....I am still on my third one (ECM).........But my wife's is still the factory one.....Thanks.............I better get that one out of hers........Now I have a reason!!!!........Caper..........................

 

Well I checked and my two VIN# start with 4XAMH46A........I will get a notice in the mail anyway I guess.................I am also in Canada...........This is only U.S.A. so far........Is that correct?.....Caper.......

 

i never got a recall on the one i sold so i wonder if it was covered or if the new owner would get it? i would pass it on if new it was. caper should be reinibursed if he had to pay for his.

CAPER - I think you need to start with the last "A" you mention in the string of numbers you have above and use the rest after that - its the second part of the serial number I think. I have the same 8 digits and letters as you do on my machine. Let me know if I am wrong! and let me know if you get a letter - I havent got one yet

I am having a problem finding the vin numbers on the new list. They are important for Polaris to cover it. My buddy lost a 2004 .5 500 sportsman 4x4 last year and he was told that HIS vin was not on the list so he got no help. His vin is 4XACH50A14B395514,
