The snowmobiles' fuel tanks can crack allowing liquid fuel and fuel vapor to leak, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. In addition, a problem with the throttle cable can lead to loss of speed control, posing a crash hazard.

Cracks can appear in the starter ring gears, causing ring gear fragmentation at high speeds. The debris can act as a projectile, causing injury or death to riders or bystanders.
