Update: Ski-Doo Snowmobiles Recalled Over Fire Hazard

BRP U.S. Inc. is recalling about 6,200 model year 2022 Ski-Doo snowmobiles equipped with 850 E-TEC and 850 E-TEC Turbo engines [1] over concerns that the fuel injector hose retainer screw can loosen and cause a fuel leak, posing fire hazard. The manufacturer initiated this recall after receiving at least 5 reports of fuel leaks which caused 2 fires.

The recalled Ski-Doo snowmobiles were sold at Ski-Doo dealers nationwide from February 2021 through September 2022 for between $10,000 and $17,000. If you purchased a snowmobile that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact a Ski-Doo dealer for a free repair.

This recall began on October 13, 2022.
