Polaris Industries Inc. Recalls Snowmobiles for Steering Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The 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.

What to do

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.
