Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Arctic Cat is recalling about 20,700 snowmobiles from model years 2007, 2008, and 2009. The fuel tanks on these vehicles can crack, causing fuel to leak into the engine compartment and creating a fire hazard. There have been 918 reports of incidents, including six reports of fires, though no injuries have been reported. Affected models include various F series, Jaguar, Bearcat, T-series, TZ1, and Z1 snowmobiles sold in multiple color combinations. Consumers should stop using these snowmobiles and contact a dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The fuel tank is prone to cracking, which allows flammable fuel to leak directly into the engine compartment. This defect has resulted in six reported fires, posing a significant risk of property damage and personal injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your snowmobile for the brand and model name. 'Arctic Cat' is printed on the sides and the rear snow-flap, and the specific model name (such as F8, F1000, Jaguar Z1, or Bearcat XT) is located on the side of the vehicle.
  2. Verify the model year and model number by checking your owner's manual for 2007, 2008, and 2009 models.
  3. Immediately stop using any recalled snowmobile to prevent the risk of fuel leaks and fire.
  4. Contact an authorized Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair for the fuel tank.
  5. If you are a registered owner, check your mail for a direct notification letter regarding this recall from the manufacturer.
