The issue
On certain snowmobiles, cracks may develop in the weld joints of the drive axle assembly which may lead to a complete breakage of the component. This may cause the track of the vehicle to suddenly lock with the potential of the riders to be ejected off the vehicle or loose control which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the drive axle.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motoneiges, des fissures pourraient apparaître dans les soudures de l'essieu moteur, ce qui pourrait causer un bris total de la pièce. Cela pourrait provoquer le blocage soudain de la chenille du véhicule et l'éjection des motoneigistes ou la perte de maîtrise du véhicule, ce qui pourrait causer un accident, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'essieu moteur.
