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.
- Lights And Instruments#2021584
35 units affected
Issue: On certain snowmobiles, when the brush guard/bumper is installed, it partially blocks the front side reflectors. Canadian regulations require snowmobiles to have visible side reflectors. Safety Risk: A reflector that is blocked could make the snowmobile less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Arctic Cat will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your snowmobile to a dealer to install a new front side reflector. To reduce the safety risk, Arctic Cat recommends that you should not drive your snowmobile until this recall is 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.
- Brakes#2016012
802 units affected
On certain snowmobiles, the brake line could wear against the driven clutch pulley when the clutch shifts fully open. This could cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect brake hose routing and reposition if necessary. Brake hoses showing evidence of contact with the pulley will be replaced.
