Description
Model year 2005 Polaris "900 Fusion" and "900 RMK 151" snowmobiles with model numbers S05MP8DS(A)(B)(C) and S05PL8DSA are part of this recall. The model number is located on the vehicle identification tag, located on the right side near the foot rest. The "900 Fusion" and "900 RMK 151" snowmobiles have either red/black or blue/silver/black seats with a red, black, or blue hood. "Fusion 900" or "RMK 900" is prominently displayed on the sides of the body.
Hazard
The fuel connections between the fuel line and the fuel pump and fuel filter can leak. Failure of the fuel connection can result in leaking fuel and a possible fire, which can result in severe injury or death. In addition, the drive shaft may have been incorrectly heat treated, resulting in brittle drive shafts that could fail at lower loads than the shafts were originally designed to meet. Failure of the drive shaft can result in a loss of braking of the snowmobile and severe injury or death.
Remedy
Free repair. Contact your Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment to install fuel line connection clamps and a replacement drive shaft. Polaris has notified consumers directly about this recall.
Incidents and injuries
