The hazard
On certain snowmobiles, the welds on the upper steering brackets may have insufficient penetration. This could cause steering components to loosen or separate, which could affect steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the welds, and will repair as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their snowmobiles until the defect has been repaired.
