Description
The recalled snowmobiles are 2-tone blue or all black. The name of the engine is written on the hood: Rotax 4-TEC V-1000 or Rotax 2-TEC 800 SDI.
Hazard
The Start/RER switch for the SDI models and the Start switch for the V-1000 models may be defective, creating two potential problems: Condition A: If the operator leaves the engine cut out switch in the "ON" position and the tether cut out switch cap on the switch post, the vehicle may start by itself (SDI models and V-1000 models). Condition B: While vehicle is idling, the engine may stop and then restart in the reverse stationary mode (SDI models only). Both of these conditions may be hazardous to the driver, as well as to persons nearby.
Remedy
Consumers should contact their Bombardier dealer to schedule an appointment. The dealer will replace the Start/RER switch (SDI models) or Start switch (V-1000 models). Bombardier Motor Corporation of America has notified consumers directly about this recall.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
