Reports of Injury Prompt Ski-Doo Snowmobile Recall

Defective Axle Joints can cause Vehicle to Lock

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc (BRP), of Valcourt, Canada is recalling about 18,000 Ski-Doo Snowmobiles because cracks can develop in the welded joints of the drive axle assembly of the snowmobile and can result in complete breakage. If this happens the track of the vehicle can unexpectedly lock, causing riders to be ejected off the vehicle or lose control and collide with bystanders, a fixed object or other vehicles. This poses a risk of serious injury or death.

BRP has received 20 reports of locked tracks, including one report of a broken femur and reports of minor injuries such as bruises.

This recall involves Ski-Doo Model Year 2008 and 2009 snowmobiles.
