Polaris Motorcycles Recalled
The Victory Kingpin Touring, 2004-2011 model year, seat number 2876641-01 and the Victory Jackpot Touring, 2006-2011 model year, seat number 2875961-01 have both been recalled.
Both of these Polaris motorcycles were manufactured from the start of 2004 to May 1, 2011 with an installation of a defective seat. While the motorcycle is in use, the backrest of the seat can become detached causing a motorcyclist to fall of his or her bike, which can result in serious, if not fatal, injuries.
Dealers will be freely replacing seats that are defected for owners of these 2 types of motorcycles. The recall will begin no later than Aug. 30, 2011.
