The issue

On certain snowmobiles, the headlamp dimmer switch may fail to deactivate one circuit prior to energizing the other circuit, which would allow the high beam and low beam headlamps to be ON simultaneously. If this occurs, the added load on the circuit would cause the fuse to fail. Loss of headlamp illumination, should it occur during a rainy day, or during hours of darkness, could compromise the rider's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the headlamp dimmer switch assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motoneiges, le rhéostat du phare pourrait ne pas désactiver un circuit avant de mettre sous tension l'autre circuit, ce qui permettrait au faisceau de route et au faisceau de croisement d'être allumés en même temps. Si cela se produisait, la charge supplémentaire sur le circuit pourrait faire sauter le fusible. Si le phare cessait de fonctionner lors d'une journée pluvieuse ou lorsqu'il fait noir, cela pourrait compromettre la capacité du pilote à voir la route et ses usagers, et causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le rhésotat du phare.
