California Emissions
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Certain POLARIS Off-Road Vehicles are available in 49-state and 50-state versions. Only the 50-state models are certified for sale in California. The 50-state models available for sale in California are identified by the letter “B” in the ninth position of the model number (e.g., R16RTE87B), and they must also have a 50-state emission control label. The POLARIS 50-state vehicles are designed and built with features that distinguish them from 49-state vehicles, including the emissions label. Any modifications to these features may be a violation of the applicable California regulations and may void this limited emissions warranty offered by the manufacturer.
Polaris warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the Polaris application for certification for a period of 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first, and
(3) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a high-cost warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the Polaris application for certification, for a period of 5 years or 3,500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first.
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT: YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and POLARIS are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on the Model Year 2024 off-road large spark-ignition engine in your vehicle. In California, new off-road large spark-ignition (LSI) engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. POLARIS must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, regulator or fuel-injection system, ignition system, engine computer unit (ECM), catalytic converter and air induction system. Also included may be sensors, hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, POLARIS will repair your LSI engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE IN CALIFORNIA:
Your Model Year 2024 off-road large spark-ignition engine is warranted in California for 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first (warranty period). High-Cost warranted parts are warranted for 5 years or 3500 hours, whichever occurs first. A High-Cost warranted part is an emissions-related part with a replacement cost, including the retail cost of the part plus labor and standard diagnosis, equal to or greater than a value prescribed annually by CARB. The limit value for Model Year 2024 engines is $740. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective within the applicable warranty period, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES IN CALIFORNIA:
As the off-road LSI engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. POLARIS recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your off-road engine, but POLARIS cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the off-road large spark-ignition engine owner, you should however be aware that POLARIS may deny you warranty coverage if your off-road large spark-ignition engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. Your engine is designed to operate on gasoline. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California's emissions requirements.
You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The CARB suggests that you present your off-road large spark-ignition engine to a POLARIS dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact POLARIS Customer Assistance at 1-800-POLARIS (1-800-765-2747). French: 1-800-268-6334.
CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY INTERPRETATION
The California Emissions Warranty for this Large Spark Ignition Engine must be interpreted as prescribed in Section 2435(c), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual, and (2) any part scheduled only for regular inspection and any part subject to an “inspect and replace as needed” specification in the Owner’s Manual is warranted for 3 years or 2,500 hours, whichever occurs first. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS at no charge to the owner at a warranty station. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS at no charge to the owner at a warranty station. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this article will be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
(5) Warranty services or repairs will be provided at all Polaris dealers authorized to conduct service.
(6) The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) POLARIS is liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the engine's warranty period described above, POLARIS will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(9) Any replacement part, as defined in Section 1900(b)(13), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations, may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. It is not necessary for replacement parts to be the same brand or by the same manufacturer as the original part sold with the engine. Such use does not reduce the POLARIS warranty obligations.
(10) Add-on or modified parts, as defined in Section 1900(b)(1) and (b)(10), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts will, at the discretion of POLARIS, be grounds for disallowing a warranty. POLARIS is not liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
The following statement on non-critical emissions related maintenance is in addition to the above interpretations prescribed in Section 2435(c), Title 13, of the California Code of Regulations. Non-critical emissions related maintenance steps are not necessary to keep the emission-related warranty valid. Non-critical emissions related maintenance includes items such as the scheduled spark plug changes and valve clearance adjustments recommended in the Maintenance Chart of this Owner’s Manual.
