What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where serious injury or death is possible due to projectile debris, but the source explicitly states that no incidents or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling approximately 1,455 units of 2005 Ski-Doo Mach Z 995 and Summit 995 snowmobiles. The recall affects specific models, including the Mach Z Adrenaline and Summit Highmark packages, that do not have a functional electric starter. These snowmobiles were sold nationwide through Ski-Doo dealers from September 2004 through January 2005 for prices ranging from $10,599 to $11,599.

The recall is being conducted because an inappropriate clutch ring gear was installed on some of these units. This defect may cause the ring gear to fragment at high speeds, creating debris that could act as projectiles. Such projectiles pose a risk of serious injury or death to the operator or others nearby. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.

Owners of affected snowmobiles will be notified directly by BRP. Consumers should stop using the snowmobile immediately and contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer to schedule a free repair. For additional information, consumers can contact BRP at (888) 638-5397 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET.
