Bombardier Recalls Ski-Doo Snowmobiles

December 19, 2007
Bombardier Recreational Products is recalling nearly 500 Ski-Doo model year 2008 MXZ X 600 RS snowmobiles.

A defect in the carburetor can prevent the throttle from freely returning to the idle position. This can result in an unexpected loss of control leading to a collision and cause serious injuries or death.

The firm has received three reports of snowmobiles with stuck throttles. No injuries reported.

The recall involves Ski-Doo model year 2008 MXZ X 600 RS snowmobiles. The model name is located on the side panels. The snowmobiles were sold in yellow or black/slate.

The units were sold by Ski-Doo dealers nationwide during November 2007 for about $9,500. They were made in Canada.

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

Consumer Contact: For more information, call Bombardier Recreational Products toll-free at (888) 638-5397 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.ski-doo.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
