2012 570 Inquiry

Hey guys,

quick question on a used 570 I might purchase. This is kind of a different route for me as I am going backwards (in my mind) in the lineup… lol. I started out with an 08 800, sold it and bought a ’13 800s, sold it and planned to purchase a 1000. Currently I’m in between rzrs and I’m not ready to buy a 1000 just yet… I do however have a semi-immediate need for a machine to take deer hunting and to plow my long driveway with come winter. All that being said, while looking at rzrs and other atvs on craigslist I stumbled upon a few decently priced 570s. The one I am currently looking at is just over 6 grand and only has 1160 miles. Sounds like a pretty decent deal to me and I would rather spend 6 and get a rzr as opposed to 4 for an atv. Any thoughts on the above so far?

SO- my real question here is.. after researching the 2012 570s, I found that they had a recall relating to the crankshaft assembly as well as some airbox issues.. I checked out Polaris’ website and was not able to find the "unit inquiry" to try and search the VIN for the rzr I’m looking at.. Anyone have a link to check the VIN? I’m also wondering.. with 1200 miles on this machine and it running seemingly fine/strong is it safe to assume that it was exempt from the recall and did not/does not have a motor issue? As far as the air box goes I can open it up and check inside for dirt and signs of abuse.

Sorry if this comes across a little scattered… kind of thinking/typing out loud lol.

Thanks for the input guys!
