I have to agree that it seems rather pointless to hold out hope for one's '22 snow checked sled in those circumstances. Option 2 or 3 from Polaris seem more appropriate to me. Are there any sleds in Polaris dealer inventory? Next set back will be when the weather changes abruptly and we get an early spring. An acquaintance had his Yamaha SRX build canceled. Found a different '22 model in Yamaha dealer inventory, bought it and is very happy he did. Been riding now for three weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Bad news for sure for anyone that got that. I can't see much changing for next year at this point. Im sure manufacturers do not want to release new sled models after this year, but who knows. Tough decision for people to make. With there being virtually no dealer inventory it would be hard to cancel. Although I can see snowcheck being extremely limited this year so that might make people hold out.

Where is the offer of compensation for them not meeting their contractual obligations? If you decided that you didn't want to pick up you new sled and pay for until February, they be happy to keep your deposit. These manufacturers need to be held accountable IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment its a similar deal in pretty much every sector of the economy. I spoke to a commercial truck salesman a couple of months ago. The dealership he works at had 475 sold trucks on order for model year 2022 delivery and the manufacturer they represent all of a sudden told them that their dealership would only be allowed 275 trucks for the full year. So the salesman has to go back and tell their customers well after the order date, Sorry but you aren't getting the trucks you ordered that you need for your business. The customers are upset and the salesman who works on commission just lost a lot of income. No monetary help from the manufacturer and thats for a commercial product required by the purchaser to operate their business and make an income not for a leisure product. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got squat for my Ferris either and I still be waiting if I hadn’t cancelled order and got my deposit back. Had to pay 1200 more from dealer b, as switching wasn’t an option. At least Polaris is offering that. Are they going to make customers re order their trucks and pay 2023 prices? I talked to my feed supplier and they had a bunch of new 2022 trucks cancelled too. This is a company with over 200 trucks in thier fleet. Now they have hired some part time drivers to work into night. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a VIN on a bill sale stating delivery date, there is no contractual obligation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMSOMAIR Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 In the Polaris instance I am asking as it is a simple way to be safe if the throttle has issues as per the recall. As for the BRP tether, the issue is theft and insurance. If the DESS is knowingly faulty from the factory then some onus should be put on the manufacturer.

The throttle issue is certainly a safety issue , but I would be more inclined to use my Kill Switch than pull the tether if my throttle was stuck…but that’s just me maybe. With the Doos it is not an insurance issue and seems like more sleds being stolen other than 22’s. In fact , I haven’t seen one post yet about a 22 stolen. BRP has given post locks to the dealers for the customers that purchased 22’s without DESS. Picked mine up and they work great. So at least they have been quick to act and offer a solution at no charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ride with one as I believe it is also a safety issue - however, I think if I had a stuck throttle I would instinctively go for the kill switch - just my own personal thing I guess.

catinental couch Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Could be you would. Hard to know unless you have an emergency. After years of racing, the natural instinct is to yank the tether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
