CPSC · 08610 · published 2008-09-26

CPSC campaign 08610

Hazard

Cracks can develop in the welded joints of the drive axle assembly of the snowmobile and can result in complete breakage. If this happens, the track of the vehicle can unexpectedly lock, causing riders to be ejected off the vehicle or lose control and collide with bystanders, a fixed object or other vehicles. This poses a risk of serious injury or death.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the vehicles and contact their local Ski-Doo® dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. Consumers with recalled snowmobiles are being sent direct notice from BRP.
