Polaris service campaign Team Tip 2026-03
Polaris filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Aug 11, 2026, received Sep 5, 2026, about the electrical system. It names 14 model years (2016–2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says

Digital Wrench II errors may be caused by vehicle module issues, software or equipment malfunctions, or interruptions during updates and flash procedures. Common causes include poor internet connectivity, low vehicle battery voltage, and accidental or premature disconnection of Digital Wrench II components.
