Certain snowmobiles were manufactured, or repaired under TC recall 2008-113, with improper fuel hoses which do not meet the electrically dissipative (ED) requirement stamped on the hose. Under specific conditions, this may result in explosion of the fuel tank. Should the vehicle be left idling in temperatures of less than -30 degrees Celsius, with less than 50% relative humidity, a build-up of static electricity in the fuel system may result in a spark discharge which can ignite the air fuel mixture inside the tank. An explosion could cause personal injury or death to a bystander or operator, as well as allowing fuel spillage, which may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel line and filter assembly with a revised version having higher electrical conductivity. This will allow a proper ground path for fuel system components to the chassis, thereby preventing electrostatic accumulation, and subsequent discharge.
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, due to possible oil contamination of the drive pulley tapers during the assembly process, the drive pulley governor cup tapers may start to slip and lead to a bolt breakage. This could cause debris to come out of the engine compartment at high speed, causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will clean the drive upper sheave and governor cup tapers, then install a new drive pulley bolt and conical spring washer.
