Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

GEM has observed instances where customers operating in cold weather are reporting vehicles slowing down at a higher state of charge, as if batteries are low. This Team Tip was released to inform dealers that there is a Polaris BMC reflash available for vehicles equipped with AGM batteries to factor ambient temperature into the state of charge reading. This communication also shows how to calculate a customerâs estimated range based on ambient temperature for vehicles equipped with flooded batteries.

GEM Technical Service has received some reports of the MCU becoming inoperable after a MCU reflash attempt. GEM is releasing this Team Tip to inform dealers that the software in the EPS on vehicles built from 10/03/2018 to 02/14/2019 is attempting to communicate during the reflash procedure of the MCU. This could interrupt the process, and cause the MCU to become inoperable.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
