February 16, 2024
Steve,
Polaris has determined that some 2023 and 2024 Slingshot models may have a
plugged timing chain oil jet which could result in a lack of oil to the timing chain
guides resulting in engine damage.
To address this concern, Polaris has released this Service Bulletin with
instructions to inspect the oil jet, and replace if needed.
Our records indicate that you are the owner of a TEST with VIN TEST affected
by Service Bulletin TEST.
Owner Next Steps:
 Schedule an appointment with an authorized Polaris dealer. Do not
attempt repairs yourself. Repairs must be done by an authorized Polaris
dealer. Your local dealer can be found on our Dealer Locator web page.
 Your Polaris dealer is in the best position to answer your questions, but
you may also contact our Polaris Owners Connections Department at 1800-765-2747 to speak with a representative.
Dealership Next Steps:

guides and risk causing severe engine damage.
To address this concern, Polaris has released this Service Bulletin with
instructions to inspect the oil jet, and replace if needed. The affected population
is less than 40 VINs.
