Description

The Pro Armor Slam Latches are black metal door latches sold for use in Polaris RZR, Can-Am Commander and Kawasaki Teryx utility vehicles. The latches were sold separately or purchased as an add-on installed on a door that was bought separately.

Hazards

The latch pin can disengage from the latch allowing the door to open while the vehicle is moving. This can pose a risk of ejection of an unrestrained rider and impact or laceration hazards.

Reported injuries

Pro Armor has received nine reports of the latch pin disengaging. No injuries have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using vehicles with this latch installed and contact Pro Armor for a free repair kit.
