Friction between the fuel hose and the cylinder head cover can cause the hose to pierce. This can cause fuel to leak out, posing a fire hazard.
The firm has received two reports of fuel leakage and five additional reports of hose wear. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Description: The recall involves the following Ski-Doo Models:
| Model | Color |
|---|---|
| 2007 and 2008 Expedition TUV V800 | Deep Red/Black |
| 2007 and 2008 Skandic SWT V-800 | Yellow/Black |
The model names are located on the side panel.
Note: The 2007 and 2008 Skandic SWT V-800 Snowmobiles were previously recalled due to explosion hazard.
