What people quickly find out is that this Sportsman isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Just look at this one review left on the Polaris website, “I’ve had my bike since October it has 16 hours on it and it’s already in the shop for water leaking into belt housing causing est. While there aren’t any recalls related to recent models, structural issues are a thing this company is known for dealing with. Three years after the 2014 models were released, they were recalled for fuel leaks into the headlight pod and air intake ducts that touched the fuel rail. Both of these problems led to fire concerns. Considering it took three years for these recalls to be issued, it’s only a matter of time before we see recalls on the newer models. ![]() It’s also obvious that the company created an ATV that wasn’t meant to handle anything other than calm riding in an idyllic setting. The structure won’t hold up to much else. Here are some actual complaints logged with ConsumerAffairs about the Polaris ATVs Build Quality and Reliability Issues Some users even refer to it as an expensive paperweight, which would be the safest way to use it. The Polaris 570-4 I purchased is not assembled in the US. After purchasing the UTV I discovered that the machine is assembled in Mexico. I would never have purchased knowing that a company that brags made in USA is actually assembled in Mexico. After shipping the product to the USVI I discovered that a 6.5% duty was owed because the vin # starts with a #3. I really had to dig deep to verify this as I am sure Polaris has worked hard to hide this fact. My Polaris 570 touring ATV has been in the shop for more hours than ridden. It is back in again now with an EPS issue that they cannot figure out. We thought it was the dealership the first time and changed dealers they are not happy about warranty work since they don’t get paid the same as a regular repair. They sold me a machine I cannot use with a warranty they will not stand behind. Polaris Sportsman 570 Gear Shifter Problems I would not purchase another Polaris product unless they change. The last thing any rider wants to struggle with on the trail is shifting, but that’s exactly what happens with the Polaris Sportsman 570. This one review on the Polaris website states, “Needed 4 wheeler right away. Hasty purchase at closest dealer because of price point. ![]() Folks at Dealer were fantastic, and plow system is really nice. ![]() 2 months now and have only used it for hunting on farm, but this thing has gaps in body parts between gas tank and seat. (Didn’t notice right away) Its Very Very hard to shift into any gear (hoped it would improve with use but hasnt), Terrible design high beam adjustment, Horrible battery location, 1 1/4″ hitch worthless (how hard would it have been to equip with 2″ receiver).
