Ski-Doo 2022 Snowmobiles Recalled Due to Speedometer Crash Hazard

BRP is recalling approximately 400 Ski-Doo 2022 snowmobiles because the speedometer may display half the vehicle's true speed, creating a crash hazard. Consumers should stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact a Ski-Doo dealer for free repair.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states "No injuries have been reported," and the hazard is a potential crash risk that has not yet resulted in documented harm. Four reports of the defect exist but with no injury outcome. Under the rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. This voluntary precautionary recall with no reported injuries fits the Moderate (score 2) category.

Plain-English summary

BRP U.S. Inc. is recalling approximately 400 Ski-Doo 2022 snowmobiles sold through Ski-Doo dealers nationwide from June 2021 through December 2021. The recalled models include Expedition 600 ACE, Expedition 900 ACE, Grand Touring 600 ACE, Grand Touring 900 ACE, Renegade 600 ACE, Renegade 900 ACE, Skandic 600 ACE, Skandic 900 ACE, and Tundra 600 ACE.

The speedometer on these snowmobiles can display half of the vehicle's true speed, which may result in loss of control and pose a crash hazard. BRP has received four reports of the speedometer not displaying the correct speed. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact a Ski-Doo dealer for a free repair. BRP is contacting all known purchasers directly to coordinate the free repair with dealers to update the engine control module.
