Polaris does not require one person from a dealership to be certified before parts ordering may occur and two people from a dealership to be
certified before warranty claims may be processed.

INVENTORY / STOCK PART WARRANTY CLAIMS:
Located on the side of the brake pressure switch (4013596) is a 4 digit manufacture date code. In reference to the picture
below, the first two digits (03) represent the week of manufacture and the last two digits (16) represent the year of
manufacture. Dealers should review their service parts inventory and ensure switches dated prior to 4316 (the 43rd week
of 2016) are NOT used for any repairs. The example below is
a potentially defective switch since the date code indicates it
was manufactured on the 3rd week of 2016.

Switches dated 4316 or later (0317, 0118, etc.) can be used if
the procedure outlined below is followed and the components
specified in this procedure are used. For your convenience, a
new Brake Pressure Switch service kit (PN 2207836) has
been created for this advisory. The kit includes all parts and
materials needed to successfully perform this repair and will
represent the standard service part available on the dealer
website.

IMPORTANT
Make sure the Brake Pressure Switch has a build date of 4316 or later.
