Ski-Doo and Lynx Snowmobiles Recalled for Fire Hazard

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 text identifies a risk-of-harm product (fire hazard from fuel leak) where the mechanism of harm is documented through six reported fuel leaks. Although no injuries have yet been reported, the hazard description explicitly states potential for "serious property damage, injuries or even death," placing this in the High category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
