04- Steering#2017252
2,394 units affected
On certain snowmobiles, the welds on the upper steering brackets may have insufficient penetration. This could cause steering components to loosen or separate, which could affect steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the welds, and will repair as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their snowmobiles until the defect has been repaired.
- Powertrain#2016574
19,501 units affected
Polaris Industries is conducting a voluntary Safety Advisory Program involving throttle assemblies on certain snowmobiles. The throttle assembly located on the right handlebar could become dislodged through impact, rotation, or other manipulation. If this assembly becomes dislodged, and is not properly repaired, the Lower Retention Block may interfere with the Throttle Flipper. This could cause the throttle to stick in the open position, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, potentially resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Polaris is advising owners who experience a throttle block that becomes dislodged or damaged to take their vehicle to a Polaris dealer for repair. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
- Lights And Instruments#2014348
144 units affected
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 1201 - Snowmobile Standards. The rear reflector may have been oriented at a downward angle, which could affect compliance to the standard. Correction: No corrective recall action is required as this technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.
- Suspension#2012370
95 units affected
On certain snowmobiles, the front lower left shock bolt may have been tightened incorrectly and could fail, causing unexpected limited steering and front left suspension collapse. This could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics or a loss of control increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the shock mounting bolt and tighten to specification.
