**Polaris Industries (Ticker: PII)**
Polaris has recalled about 910 units of its RZR Pro R and Pro R 4 ROVs due to risks associated with the rollover protective structure (ROPS). Although there have been no reported injuries, recalls often impact consumer perception and sales. The vehicles are sold in the $32,000 - $50,000 range, which affects revenue from these high-margin products. The long-term profitability of Polaris could be questioned if recalls lead to significant brand damage, impacting revenue streams.
**American Honda Motor (Ticker: HMC)**
Honda's recall of accessory heaters for their vehicles poses not only safety risks but could also incite consumer skepticism about product reliability, impacting future sales. Given that Honda has recorded incidents of overheating and fire, the financial implications may narrow their Gross Profit Margin until corrective measures are implemented. Importantly, despite no injuries reported, the recalls can erode consumer trust, leading to potential long-term revenue impacts.
**Five Below (Ticker: FIVE)**
Five Below's recall of LED bear lights due to overheating and fire hazards draws attention to product safety. Recalls not only lead to direct costs associated with refunds and replacement but risk consumer confidence in the brand, which may lower future revenues. Although the price point is relatively low ($12), frequent recalls can deter more substantial shopping volumes, thus affecting the company's profitability.
