On certain snowmobiles, incorrect High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) material was used to mold the top of the fuel tank. This material is not designed for use with gasoline. Over time, with exposure to gasoline and gasoline vapors, the filler neck can crack, allowing fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank on snowmobiles that have not had the fuel neck insert kit installed as part of recall 2005289. Snowmobiles that already have an insert kit installed, and that experience additional cracking around the filler neck area, will also have the fuel tank replaced.
A failure of this component (fuel system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain snowmobiles, the welding process used to manufacture the upper front shock tower brackets may not have achieved sufficient weld penetration. If separation of the welded joint(s) were to occur, the rider could lose control, either due to a sudden change in ride height or due to interference with the steering mechanism. This could result in a crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace both front shock towers.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain snowmobiles, the fuel tank could crack around the filler neck. Such a crack could result in filler neck separation which would allow fuel and/or fuel vapours to escape, creating a fire hazard. Correction: Dealers will inspect the area around the filler neck for a crack or any signs of cracking. If a crack is found, the fuel tank assembly will be replaced. If no crack is found, dealer will install an update kit designed to reinforce the area.
