Polaris Industries Inc. Recalls Snowmobiles Due to Loss of Control Hazard

Hazard

The right and left front suspension shock towers can separate due to inadequate welding during the manufacturing process. Separation of the welded joints can result in stiffer steering or the shock mount failing suddenly, causing the rider to lose control of the snowmobile and crash.
