CPSC and Polaris Announce Snowmobile RetrofitWASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Polaris Industries Partners L.P. of Minneapolis, Minn., is announcing the voluntary recall of about 19,320 snowmobiles, model years 1994, 1995, and 1996. The snowmobile's engine coolant tank may expand, interfering with the operation of the brakes. Snowmobile drivers or riders could be injured or killed if the brakes fail.Polaris is aware of one injury allegedly involving the snowmobile coolant tank. This recall affects the following Polaris snowmobiles:
Polaris dealers sold the snowmobiles nationwide from March 1993 through April 1996 for suggested retail prices between $6,000 and $9,000 each, depending on the model. Consumers who own these snowmobiles should stop using them immediately and return them to any authorized Polaris dealer for free installation of a support bracket kit, which will prevent the expansion from occurring. For the location of the nearest Polaris dealer, consumers should call (800) POLARIS. CPSC urges consumers who own Polaris snowmobiles to participate in this retrofit program as part of their regular, post-season snowmobile maintenance procedures. |
