Polaris Industries Inc. has recalled certain 2011 Victory Cross Country motorcycles because their handlebars may slip, possibly causing the operator to suddenly lose control of the vehicle.

Medina-based Polaris (NYSE: PII) said the handlebar clamps or risers may have been machined improperly, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Polaris said the recall affects 840 cycles made this year through April 11. Polaris is notifying owners, and dealers will replace defective parts free of charge.
