Issue: On certain snowmobiles, the primary (drive) clutch could fail. If this happens, pieces of the clutch could separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: Clutch parts that separate from the snowmobile could hit a person and create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Arctic Cat recommends that you should not use your snowmobile until the recall repairs are completed. Arctic Cat will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your snowmobile to a dealership to install additional shielding around the primary clutch and the toe guard.
- Fuel System#2019102
5,448 units affected
Issue: On certain snowmobiles, unburned fuel may ignite in a hot exhaust pipe. This can happen when the engine returns to idle after running under heavy loads or high-speeds. This could melt the plastics around the exhaust pipe and cause a fire. Safety Risk: A fire creates a risk of injury and/or property damage. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the Electronic Control Module (ECM) reprogrammed. Note: Owners should not use their snowmobile until the recall repairs are completed.
- Powertrain#2017293
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.
