The hazard

Certain snowmobiles may have been assembled with a steering column that has a missing weld. In that particular situation, a steering column component may become loose, causing the directional system to be inoperative. If this occurs, it could lead to loss of control and possible collision with bystanders, a fixed object or other vehicle and potentially cause serious injuries or even death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the steering column.
