BRP Recalls 2021-2022 Ski-Doo Snowmobiles Due to Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling approximately 2,400 model year 2021 and 2022 Ski-Doo snowmobiles in the United States. The affected models include the Backcountry, Expedition, MXZ, Renegade, Skandic, and Tundra Sport 600 EFI. These vehicles were sold at Ski-Doo dealers nationwide from August 18, 2020, through March 18, 2021, for between $8,000 and $11,000. An additional 3,000 units were sold in Canada.

The recall is due to a fire hazard. The snowmobile's muffler can overheat, causing the upper right-hand vent grill to melt and drip plastic onto the exhaust system.
