Hazard

Under extreme cold and dry weather conditions, an explosion could occur because of sparking in the fuel tank, when it is partially filled with gasoline at a low vapor pressure and the engine is left idling. This could cause serious injuries or death.

Remedy

Consumers with recalled snowmobiles are being sent a direct notice from BRP. Consumers should stop using these vehicles immediately and contact any Ski-Doo dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair.

The firm has received four reports of explosions, one involving burns to legs, fingers and face.
