Polaris issues a Technical service Bulletin for the XP

Seen this on RZRforums and thought you guys with 2012 EP's might want to check it out. Some 2012 RANGER RZR XP 4 900 and RZR XP4 900 models may have been manufactured with engine valve springs that may fail. The resulting failure could lead to further engine damage.

Refer to the Repair Procedure for the proper installation of new valve springs. This Service Bulletin only affects a small number of 2012 models built on or between 12/14/2011 and 1/13/2012. Refer to "Unit Inquiry" website to be sure each vehicle is within the specified VIN range for this Service Bulletin.

Affected Models:
2012 R12JT87AB, AD, AS, AW RZR XP 900
2012 R12JT9EAW RZR XP 900 EPS
2012 R12XT87AA RZR XP 4 900
2012 R12XT9EAS RZR EX 4 900 EPS

SOLUTION
Polaris has provided your Polaris dealer with a service procedure to replace the valve springs. This procedure will take approximately 4 hours to perform. The parts and labor cost to perform this update will be paid by Polaris.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Please contact your local Polaris dealer at your earliest convenience to schedule a service appointment to have the valve springs replaced on your RZR. To avoid serious engine damage, please refrain from riding your RZR until this valve spring replacement has been performed.

We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you that we are committed to quality and building the best vehicles in the world. Although we understand this is an inconvenience, it is important to have the service procedure performed prior to your next use.

While your Polaris ATV dealer is in the best position to answer your questions, if you have any questions your dealer cannot address, you may call our Customer Service Department at 1-888-704-5290.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Might as well print a copy of this service bulletin to take with you cause they probably ain't never heard of it.

AINT THAT THE TRUTH SEEMS LIKE ITS ALWAYS BEING MADE UP WHEN YOU MENTION A RECALL NOTICE

Thanks for the notice on the recall. I believe that mine was built on 12/18 so that could include me. I'll have to call the dealer tomorrow.

Dang, I knew I should have waited another 6 months to see what Yamaha was going to put out.

now ..now fellers....let's not forget...your driving the best sxs made in america... ...

Got a call this morning requesting my rzr back.

I am affected. Great.....................

Looks like you'll just have to suffer driving the can am

Maybe I better hang on to the Rhino.......

Only when the XP is broken in the shop....

By the way, I had Travis at Peformance East check my VIN and mine wasn't on the list for the TSB. That's good news! No shop time....yet.
