Polaris recalls about 8,500 ATVs
Polaris Industries voluntarily recalled about 8,500 MY ’09-’10 Sportsman ATVs. In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall was implemented because of a crash hazard, according to the CPSC.
The front suspension ball joint stem can separate from the steering knuckle and cause the rider to lose steering control. Polaris has received 19 reports of incidents involving the recalled ATVs, but no injuries have been reported, stated the CPSC.
The ATVs were manufactured between January and August 2009. They were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from February-November 2009 for $7,500-$10,800.
The VIN number and manufacture date are located on the right front of the ATV on the frame rail next to the front shock.

I hear you, I just wanted to be sure and do it myself.
SNW I noticed you have a HMF swamp XL.
Is it quieter than the stock one?

Hey!
I'm not trying to push our business or anything, but I work for Freedom Power Sports and work in the Service Dept. I can run your VIN and let you know if there is anything outstanding on it.
Just let me know :]

I'm kind of surprised they don't send letters for people who purchased these quads new.

ditto, i can also run VIN#s in the dealer site to see if you have recalls or not.

most times recall letters do not go out all at one time,companys do not want everyone to show up at there dealer at the same time,this will just piss off customers more than they already are because they have a recall and because of parts availability.
