How to Read a Polaris VIN Number

VIN Description

Each character in your vehicle's unique sequence tells a specific story.

  • WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier - Positions 1-3) : Vehicle manufacturer and country of origin.
  • VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section - Positions 4-9) : Body style, engine size, specific information, and check digit based on a mathematical formula for validation.
  • VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section - Positions 10-17) : Model year designation, assembly plant code showing production location, and serial number unique to each vehicle.

There is some other important information that Polaris owners and buyers should know:

  • VINs for Polaris off-road vehicles start with 3WNF, where "WNF" marks off-road utility variants.
  • Powertrain codes (like "E") in the VIN identify drivetrain types - "E" = electric drive.
  • In-house built VINs originate from Roseau, MN, often flagged by plant code "1" in position 11.
  • VINs show whether a unit is street legal (Slingshot) vs. off-road.
  • In late 2024, about 20,000 total ROV/ATV VINs were recalled due to fire risk.

Here's how our Polaris VIN decoder interprets a sample sequence (4XAMH50A9AB058069):
