Fantastic Polaris Slingshot, released onto the market last autumn, stumbled on the rise: in just a few months after the start of sales of the manufacturing company announced the emergency stop of all transactions and withdrawal of sold machines. The owners still have not received invitations to the service, it is proposed to temporarily abandon trips for security reasons.
What happened? In a letter to Polaris stated that the inspection found a defect in the ball bearings of the steering mechanism, which can potentially lead to loss of control. In addition, safety rails on some instances may not meet the high standards of the Polaris — get this an evasive phrase as you want.
Dealers American company must obtain the necessary parts and instructions for repair tomorrow, so service campaign promises not to take a long time. However, Slingshot grabs and other problems in the United States: immediately after the premiere of registration Trika banned in several States (for example, Connecticut, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii), because the local authorities did not know how to define a three-wheeled car as a motorcycle or car. This problem is not still solved, so the sales volume of a futuristic sports car price from $ 20,000 much lower than it could be. Bad for Polaris, but it is good to repair them less work.
