How to Get Service

In the Country where your vehicle was purchased:
Warranty or Service Bulletin repairs must be done by an authorized POLARIS dealer. If 
you move or are traveling within the country where your vehicle was purchased, War-
ranty or Service Bulletin repairs may be requested from any authorized POLARIS dealer 
who sells the same line as your vehicle.
Outside the Country where your vehicle was purchased:
If you are traveling temporarily outside the country where your vehicle was purchased, 
you should take your vehicle to an authorized POLARIS dealer. You must show the 
dealer photo identification from the country of the selling dealer’s authorized location as 
proof of residence. Upon residence verification, the servicing dealer will be authorized 
to perform the warranty repair.
If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure to contact POLARIS Customer Assistance and 
the customs department of the destination country before you move. Vehicles importa-
tion rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to present 
documentation of your move to POLARIS Industries in order to continue your warranty 
coverage. You may also be required to obtain documentation from POLARIS Industries 
in order to register your vehicle in your new country.
If Purchased From A Private Party:
If you purchase a POLARIS product from a private citizen outside of the country in 
which the vehicle was originally purchased, all warranty coverage will be denied.

Notice

If your vehicle is registered outside of the country where it was purchased, and you have 
not followed the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer be eligible for war-
ranty or service bulletin coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to Government offi-
cials or military personnel on assignment outside of the country where the vehicle was 
purchased will continue to be covered by the basic warranty.)
For questions call POLARIS Customer Assistance (see page 142).
