On certain snowmobiles, cracks may develop in the weld joints of the drive axle assembly which may lead to a complete breakage of the component. This may cause the track of the vehicle to suddenly lock with the potential of the riders to be ejected off the vehicle or loose control which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the drive axle.
A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain snowmobiles, if the throttle cable's adjustment is screwed completely down in the carburetor bracket, the end of the cable may eventually interfere with the carburetor lever mechanism. If this were to happen, the throttle cable's end could interfere with the throttle lever and, in some cases, prevent the throttle lever from returning freely to idle position. This could result in a loss of speed control causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will adjust/bend the carburetor's lever mechanism to allow appropriate clearance.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
