Hazard
The right and left front suspension shock towers can separate due to inadequate welding during the manufacturing process. Separation of the welded joints can result in stiffer steering or the shock mount failing suddenly, causing the rider to lose control of the snowmobile and crash.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using their snowmobile immediately and contact their Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. The dealer will install a kit that will replace the original shock towers with new versions. Polaris has directly notified registered consumers with units involved in this recall.
Incidents and injuries
Polaris has received eight reports of a failure to the upper shock tower due to the inadequate weld. One incident resulted in the driver losing control of the snowmobile and breaking his collarbone.
