What's wrong?
The Ride Command software on affected 2020-2023 Polaris Slingshot vehicles controls the center display functions, including the rearview camera image used while backing up. When the driver shifts into reverse, the software is supposed to show the camera view so the driver can see behind the vehicle.
On vehicles updated with Ride Command software SLS7AB.M32304A, released in April 2023, a software error can leave the rear camera image stuck after the driver shifts out of reverse. If the driver shifts into reverse again, the display can turn black instead of showing the camera view. That reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash or serious injury while backing up.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the rear camera image freezes after leaving reverse, or when the screen goes blank the next time reverse is selected.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blank or missing rearview camera image while reversing reduces the driver's rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash. Until the software update is complete, check mirrors, turn your head before backing up, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Polaris dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Polaris Slingshot S, Slingshot R, Slingshot S Tech, Slingshot Sl, Slingshot GT, Slingshot Slr, or Slingshot is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Polaris dealer to schedule the free Ride Command software update that fixes the frozen or blank rearview camera image.
- Bring the recall notice if Polaris mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V466 when you call.
- Use mirrors and direct sight checks when reversing until the repair is complete; do not rely only on the rearview camera.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Polaris technician updates the Ride Command software so the rearview camera display works correctly after the vehicle shifts out of reverse and back into reverse. The recall repair is free, with software update labor covered by Polaris. If you already paid to service or replace parts for this rearview camera condition before the recall notice, Polaris' General Recall Reimbursement Plan covers eligible documented costs. Bring your repair invoice and payment records to the service desk.
