Description of the problem	We took our slingshot sl back to our dealer to have them remove and check front wheel rims for crackles due to recent reports of over 10 other slingshot owners having their wheels rims failure due to cracks while driving. The dealer would multiple casting imperfections and one large crack approx 1 inch in length and 0. 1 ml in width (wide enough to put a fingernail). Polaris was contacted by the dealer and by us - at this time polaris is refusing to allow dealers to replace these defective cracked wheel rims. The second safety issue this motorcycle has is the rpms increase when you take your foot off the gas pedal and hold in the clutch to shift gears causing the motorcycle to rev up. We have been told the wheel rims are cast aluminum from china and are concerned about our safety when driving with this vehicle. At this time we have parked our new 2015 slingshot until these safety issues can be addressed by polaris.
