Description of the problem	On august 13, 2016 my brother was driving his 2015 polaris slingshot (model # t15aapfaab) when the vehicle suddenly veered into on coming traffic. His vehicle then collided with a car being driven in the opposite direction, my brother did not survive. Soon after, it was discovered that his vehicle may be included it the nhtsa safety recall 15v-022 for loss of steering (polaris recall sli-15-02). I conveyed this information to the livonia, michigan police officer who was investigating the collision. Officer hayne, of the livonia pd then contacted the polaris dealer, monroe motorsports, in monroe, michigan where the vehicle was purchased to investigate. Monroe motorsports informed her that the only recall on the vehicle was sli-15-05, headlights which was completed the day of the collision. Hearing this, i explained to officer hayne that the information on the nhtsa recall contradicted these findings. I further explained to officer hayne that the vehicle owned and operated by my brother on the day of the collision clearly fit all of the nhtsa requirements. Model t15aapfaab production date 12/06/2014 vin 57xaapfa0f510xxxx officer hayne then contacted polaris and received a reply further indicating that nhtsa recall 15v-022 did not include this vehicle. How can a vehicle with the exact model number, and a production date and vin number that obviously fall within the recalled vehicles, not be recalled? Additionally, i noticed that the number of recalled vehicles may be incorrect. If you subtract the starting recalled vin [xxx] from the ending recalled vin [xxx], the total amount of recalled vehicles should be 2,344 and not the 1,896 stated in the nhtsa recall. I fear that my brother's vehicle may be one of the 448 overlooked defective vehicles. I await your reply in this serious matter. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
