Polaris Slingshot

The risk

1. The brake light switch may have been over-tightened during production. This could result in a loss of brake fluid and subsequent reduction in braking performance.2. There may be insufficient clearance between the fuel pipe and the bonnet. This could result in the abrasion of the fuel pipe, leading to a risk of fire.3. The suspension swinging arm may not have the required strength and could consequently fail, affecting the directional control of the machine.
