| Description of the problem | After just less than 3,500 miles, the master brake failure light came on during a normal drive. Quickly brought the vehicle back to garage. Followed owner's manual guidelines, checked brake fluid level and contacted the dealer. Dealer indicated that this is a very common problem, no need to bring in for inspection if there is still braking. I expressed my concern with the brake failure light, and if the brakes do fail, this would result in a catastrophic accident. Over the phone they indicated that this is a very common issue; if so then polaris should fixed it quickly, as to the severity if the brakes do fail. |
