Ski-Doo Snowmobiles Recalled Due to Fire Hazard

About 700 Ski-Doo snowmobiles from 2020–2022 are recalled because fuel can leak from the tank vent onto hot components when tilted or flipped, posing a fire hazard. BRP has received five reports of fires but no injuries.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the fire hazard is contingent on specific operating conditions (tilt or flip). Although five fires have been reported, the absence of injury reports and the theoretical nature of the primary risk under normal use conditions places this at the High level per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

BRP U.S. Inc. is recalling approximately 700 Ski-Doo Expedition snowmobiles sold in the United States. The affected models include 2020, 2021, and 2022 Expedition LE, SE, and SWT models equipped with a 900 ACE turbo engine. These snowmobiles were sold by Ski-Doo dealers nationwide between June 2019 and January 2022 for between $17,000 and $19,000.

The hazard occurs when the snowmobiles are on a tilt or flipped over: fuel can leak from the fuel tank vent onto hot components, creating a fire hazard. BRP has received five reports of fires related to this fuel leakage, though no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the recalled snowmobiles immediately. BRP is contacting all known purchasers directly to arrange a free repair at Ski-Doo dealers. The repair involves changing the routing and exit location of the fuel tank vent and installing a protective plate.
