Bombarbier is recalling about 10,400 snowmobiles. The recall affects certain 2006 Ski-Doo REV, RT, and RF snowmobiles.
The steering columns on these snowmobiles could have a missing weld, which could allow a steering component to become loose. This could lead to a loss of control or possible collision causing serious injury or even death.
The recall involves certain Ski-Doo Model Year 2006 snowmobiles. The platforms involved are the REV, RT, and RF. For a complete list of model numbers and serial numbers affected by this recall please log onto www.ski-doo.com. Check the owners manual for the location of the model number and serial number.

A second recall affects certain 2006 Ski-Doo REV500 SS, REV 600 HO, and REV 600 HO SDI snowmobiles. Cracks could appear in the starter ring gears allowing gear fragmentation at high speeds. The debris could act like projectiles and cause serious injury or death to riders or bystanders.
