Polaris Industries Inc. Recalls Snowmobiles for Steering Hazard

CPSC · 06545 · published 2006-04-11

CPSC campaign 06545

Hazard

The fastener torque securing the starter motor to the engine crankcase may not have been accurately applied during the manufacture of these snowmobiles or during the installation of an accessory starter. An improperly torqued starter motor fastener bolt may become loose and fall out, allowing the bolt to interfere with the lower steering drag link. This could allow the consumer to experience a loss of steering control.

Remedy

Consumers with recalled snowmobiles are being sent direct notice from Polaris. Consumers should stop using these vehicles immediately and contact a local Polaris snowmobile dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
