On February 22, 2023, in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Polaris announced a voluntary recall of certain 2023 Timbersled Aro and Riot Pro snow bike conversion kits. The QuickDrive fastener can unexpectedly loosen during operation of these snow bike conversion kits, which could lead to brake failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
According to Polaris, some QuickDrive fasteners on the affected Timbersled units were incorrectly torqued. As a result, they may loosen themselves during the normal course of operation, unbeknownst to the rider. Approximately 1,100 Timbersled units across both the 2023 Aro and Riot Pro lines may be affected globally, according to the company.
