Reason for Recall
Bolts on the rear suspension can break causing the rail tip to become dislodged and interfere with the snowmobile's track. This can cause the track to lock up and the rider to lose control of the snowmobile, posing a risk of injury.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact any Polaris snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris has notified registered consumers directly about this recall.
