While riding my RZR, with my son. my drive belt broke, when I walked up a rise in the road to see if my son was coming back, I turned and my RZR was on fire. Polaris will take no responsibility for a defective product and I was lucky no one was seriously injured and no other property was damaged. I talked to Polaris since my RZR was the same model number as the recalled models, but they said the VIN wasn't included. Polaris said there were no changes made between my VIN and the recalled models. I believe these should be included because there are factory defects that could severely injured and kill!
