The hazard
On certain snowmobiles, steering components could become damaged in a high-impact event. This could potentially result in damage to the pitman or idler arm, which could affect steering control, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add steel plates to the pitman and idler arm assemblies to reduce the chance of component breakage.
