WARRANTY

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If your vehicle requires warranty service, you must take it to a POLARIS Servicing 
Dealer. When requesting warranty service you must present your copy of the Warranty 
Registration Form to the dealer. (THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND 
FROM THE DEALER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.) POLARIS suggests that you use 
your original selling dealer; however, you may use any POLARIS Servicing Dealer to 
perform warranty service.

In the country where your product 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 product was purchased, 
warranty and service bulletin repairs may be requested from any authorized POLARIS 
dealer that sells the same line as your product.

Outside the country where your product was purchased:

If you are traveling temporarily outside the country where your product was purchased, 
you should take your product 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. Product 
importation rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to 
present documentation of your move to POLARIS in order to continue your warranty 
coverage. You may also be required to obtain documentation from POLARIS in order to 
register your product in your new country. You should warranty register your product at 
a local POLARIS dealer in your new country immediately after you move to continue 
your warranty coverage and to ensure that you receive information and notices regarding 
your vehicle.

If you purchase from a private party:

If you purchase a POLARIS product from a private party, to be kept and used outside of 
the country in which the product was originally purchased, all warranty coverage will be 
denied. You must nonetheless register your product under your name and address with a 
local POLARIS dealer in your country to ensure that you receive safety information and 
notices regarding your product.

WARRANTY

Exported Products

EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BY LAW, THERE IS NO 
WARRANTY OR SERVICE BULLETIN COVERAGE ON THIS PRODUCT IF IT IS 
SOLD OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY OF THE SELLING DEALER’S AUTHORIZED 
LOCATION. This policy does not apply to products that have received authorization for 
export from POLARIS. Dealers may not give authorization for export. You should 
consult an authorized dealer to determine this product’s warranty or service coverage if 
you have any questions. This policy does not apply to products registered to government 
officials or military personnel on assignment outside the country of the selling dealer’s 
authorized location. This policy does not apply to safety bulletins.

Notice

If your product is registered outside of the country where it was purchased and you have 
not followed the procedure set above, your product will no longer be eligible for 
warranty or service bulletin coverage of any kind, other than safety bulletins. Products 
registered to Government officials or military personnel on assignment outside of the 
country where the product was purchased will continue to be covered by the Limited 
Warranty.

Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Should your dealer require 
any additional assistance, they will contact the appropriate person at POLARIS.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which 
vary from state to state or in different countries. If any of the above terms are void 
because of federal, state, local law, all other warranty terms will remain in effect.
