The issue
IF THE PARK BRAKE IS LEFT ON AND THE SNOWMOBILE IS OPERATED, THE BRAKE CALIPER COULD HEAT TO THE POINT THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE. THIS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. CORRECTION: OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED BY MAIL ON HOW TO REMOVE THE PARK BRAKE LEVER LOCK FROM THEIR VEHICLES SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO. FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO REMOVE THE PARK BRAKE LEVER LOCK, THE LETTER WILL SERVE AS A REMINDER TO DISENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
Description (français)
Si le frein de stationnement est serré et que la motoneige est utilisée, l'étrier de frein peut chauffer au point de causer un incendie. Il y a risque de blessure ou de perte de vie.
