California Emissions Control System Warranty

This California Emissions Control System Warranty Statement applies to your SLINGSHOT vehicle, if it is certified to meet California Air Resources Board and US EPA emission control standards.

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board and POLARIS Industries Inc. (hereinafter POLARIS) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your SLINGSHOT vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. POLARIS must warrant the emission control system on your vehicle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your vehicle. Your emission control system may include parts such as the fuel-injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter and engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, POLARIS will repair your vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage

The emissions warranty coverage for this vehicle is for a period of use of five (5) years or 30,000 kilometers (18,641 miles), whichever first occurs first. If an emission-related part on your vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by POLARIS. This is your emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the vehicle 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 vehicle, but POLARIS cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a POLARIS dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. As the vehicle owner, you should be aware that POLARIS may deny your warranty coverage if your vehicle or part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:
  • An authorized POLARIS dealer, or
