287 units affected
Certain snowmobiles do not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 1201 – Snowmobiles. Specifically, the passenger handgrip fasteners failed to meet the requirements of the certification program. If the fasteners were to fail, the passenger handgrips may loosen at one end and influence a rider’s ability to support oneself. If this were to occur while the snowmobile was in motion, there may be an increased risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger handgrip fasteners.

1,701 units affected
On certain snowmobiles, the movable sheave portion of the drive clutch assembly may develop cracks, which could lead to the sheave fracturing. If a fracture were to occur at high RPM, fractured clutch pieces could be projected and potentially cause injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the drive clutch. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their snowmobiles until the defect has been repaired.
