Reported: April 26, 2007 Initiated: April 26, 2007 #07543

Product Description

Only 2006 model year Polaris snowmobiles are part of this recall. The model and serial number identification decal is located on the right side of the tunnel underneath the seat. The recalled model names and numbers are listed below. Models Affected Model Numbers 2006 FS Classic S06PD7ES 2006 FST Classic S06PD7FS/S06PD7FE 2006 FS Touring S06PT7ES 2006 FST Touring S06PT7FS 2006 FST Switchback S06PS7FS/S06PS7FE

Reason for Recall

The right and left front suspension shock towers can separate due to inadequate welding during the manufacturing process. Separation of the welded joints can result in stiffer steering or the shock mount failing suddenly, causing the rider to lose control of the snowmobile and crash.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using their snowmobile immediately and contact their Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. The dealer will install a kit that will replace the original shock towers with new versions. Polaris has directly notified registered consumers with units involved in this recall.
