Textron Specialized Vehicles has issued a recall for the following products:
- Model Year 2022 and 2023 Arctic Cat Prowler Pro / Pro Crew
- Tracker Off Road 800SX / 800SX Crew Side by Side Recreational Off Highway Vehicles (ROVs)
The recall is due to a potential crash hazard. The vehicles can move when on an incline even when the “park” position is displayed on the digital dash. This poses a risk of the vehicle rolling away.
No injuries have been reported so far, but the firm has received 12 reports of vehicles moving while in the park position.
