What was recalled

The recall involves Ski-Doo model year 2009-2010 SKANDIC SWT V-800 and model year 2010 GSX 1200, GTX 1200, MXZ 1200, and Renegade 1200 Snowmobiles. The model name and number are displayed on the engine compartment and the serial number is on the right side of the vehicle below the seat on the frame.

Hazard

The drive pulley bolts on the snowmobiles can break due to oil contamination during the assembly process. This can cause debris to come off the vehicle and act as projectiles, posing a laceration hazard to riders or bystanders.

Injuries

BRP has received three reports of projectiles flying off of the snowmobiles, including one report of a minor foot injury.

Made in

Canada, Finland

Where it was sold

  • Ski-Doo dealerships nationwide from July 2008 through February 2010 for between $8,000 and $9,000.
