Chronology :

In May 2023, during testing on Model Year 2024 Slingshot pre-production units, PolariseBay logo observed that after shifting out of reverse, the rear camera image may freeze and may not be displayed if shifted to reverse again.

Thereafter, PolariseBay logo initiated an investigation, which included testing performed internally on Slingshot production units with the Ride Command software SLS7AB.M32304A update.

On June 27, 2023, PolariseBay logo’ Executive Review Committee determined that on Model Year 2020-2023 Slingshot vehicles updated with Ride Command software SLS7AB.M32304A (released April 2023), after shifting out of reverse, the rear camera image may freeze and the rear camera image may not be displayed if shifted to reverse again. A rear camera with a deactivated image can reduce the driver’s rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash and risk of serious injury.

No incidents have been identified on Model Year 2020-2023 Slingshot vehicles related to the reported concern.
