Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling approximately 37 BRP Ski-Doo snowmobiles, specifically the model year 2010 Expedition TUV 1200 and model year 2010 Expedition TUV SE 1200. These vehicles were manufactured by BRP Finland Oy and imported by BRP US Inc. of Sturtevant, Wisconsin.

The recall is due to a fire hazard caused by friction between the fuel hose and the electronic control unit. This friction can cause the fuel hose to wear and leak fuel. BRP has received six reports of fuel leaks, three of which resulted in vehicle fires. One incident involved a rider suffering superficial burns.

The affected snowmobiles were sold at Ski-Doo dealerships nationwide from March 2009 through April 2010 for between $8,000 and $9,000. Consumers should stop using these snowmobiles immediately and contact their local Ski-Doo dealer to schedule a free repair. Registered owners have been notified by mail. For more information, consumers can call BRP at (800) 366-6992 or visit www.brp.com.
