BRP is recalling about 10,200 Ski-Doo snowmobiles.
The fuel pump inlet fitting can come into contact with the
oil tank and break, leading to a fuel to leak that poses a fire hazard, the
company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement.
The firm has received three reports of fires. No injuries
have been reported.
The snowmobile has the model name printed on the vehicle’s
side panel.
Manufactured in Canada, the snowmobiles were sold at Ski-Doo
dealers nationwide from March 2012 through January 2013 from about $8,000 to
$12,000.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled
vehicles and contact a BRP dealer to schedule a free repair, the company and
commission advise. BRP has notified registered consumers directly about this
recall.
