CPSC Recall in 2009: Polaris Recalls Snowmobiles Due to Loss of Control Hazard
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2009.
This recall involves 2009 Polaris 800 Assault RMK 146 snowmobiles model numbers S09PL8EE and S09PL8ES. "Assault 800" is printed on the snowmobile's hood. "Polaris" is written on the seat. The model number is located on the right side of the tunnel below the seat. The snowmobiles are red and black.
Bolts on the rear suspension can break causing the rail tip to become dislodged and interfere with the snowmobile's track. This can cause the track to lock up and the rider to lose control of the snowmobile, posing a risk of injury.
Repair
The firm has received reports of eight incidents in which the rail tip bolts broke, two of which resulted in the rider being ejected from the snowmobile. No injuries have been reported.
Polaris dealers nationwide from September 2008 through June 2009 for about $10,600.
