Plain-English summary
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling approximately 2,700 Ski-Doo Model Year 2008 snowmobiles. The affected models include the MXZ Adrenaline 800R, MXZ X 800R, MXZ TNT 500SS, MXZ Trail 500SS, and Summit Everest 154 800R. These vehicles were sold in black/yellow, yellow, or black/slate colors.
The recall is due to two safety hazards: the fuel tanks can crack, allowing liquid fuel and vapor to leak, which creates a fire and burn hazard. Additionally, a problem with the throttle cable can lead to a loss of speed control, posing a crash hazard. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
The snowmobiles were sold at Ski-Doo dealers nationwide from August 2007 through October 2007 for between $9,700 and $11,200. Consumers should stop using these snowmobiles immediately and contact a local Ski-Doo dealer to schedule a free repair.
