What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The snowmobiles pose a risk of serious injury and crash due to ski breakage. Although 27 breakage incidents were reported in the United States with no U.S. injuries reported, the hazard represents a structural defect in a vehicle capable of causing significant harm. One injury was reported in Canada, and the risk is not merely theoretical.
