Plain-English summary
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling approximately 1,500 Ski-Doo snowmobiles due to a laceration hazard. 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. These vehicles were sold at Ski-Doo dealerships nationwide from July 2008 through February 2010 for between $8,000 and $9,000.
The drive pulley bolts on the affected snowmobiles can break due to oil contamination during the assembly process. This failure can cause debris to come off the vehicle and act as projectiles, posing a laceration hazard to riders or bystanders. BRP has received three reports of projectiles flying off the snowmobiles, including one report of a minor foot injury.
Consumers should stop using these snowmobiles immediately and contact their local Ski-Doo snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair. All known owners of the recalled snowmobiles have been directly notified about this recall by mail. For additional information, consumers can call BRP at (800) 366-6992 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.brp.com.
