Victory Cross Country (2010–2017): what actually fails
The documented failure patterns on used Victory Cross Countrys — the mileage window where each shows up,
and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks
against every VIN.

Misfire overheats exhaust, fire risk (recall 17V-647)
Recall 17V-647 covers 2010-2017 Cross Country, Cross Country Tour, Cross Roads, Magnum, and Hard-Ball: an engine misfire can overheat the exhaust enough to melt bodywork or start a fire. Polaris still performs the fix free through Indian/Polaris dealers even though Victory is defunct. Run the VIN and confirm the recall is closed, and check the lower bodywork near the exhaust for heat damage.
BEFORE YOU BUY Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the
car is in or near the mileage window, price the up to $200 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.
2010–2017TYPICAL 20k–70k MI$600–$1,100
Stator and voltage regulator failure
Charging-system failure is the most common Freedom 106 complaint on Victory owner forums: dead batteries, dim lights at idle, then a breakdown with little warning. Get a charging output test before buying and be wary of a bike on a battery tender excuse. Expect $600-1,100 at an independent shop — the stator lives behind the primary cover, and parts are getting scarcer since Victory shut down.
