Snow Hawk Hawk JR 120: Other

Affects Snow Hawk Hawk JR 120 · 2006–2008 — about 77 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1201 - Snowmobile Standards. The noise level is too high under acceleration, or when travelling at a constant rate of speed. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels could promote hearing damage leading to permanent hearing loss. Correction: Dealers will install an accelerator travel limiter which, by reducing engine speed, will lower noise levels. In addition, restrictions to the muffler's inlet and outlet will be installed, as well as an underhood insulation kit.
