Arctic Cat is recalling approximately 2,700 snowmobiles, specifically all 2017 9000 Turbo models and various 2018 6000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 models. The drive clutch on these vehicles can fracture during operation, allowing high-velocity fragments to escape the safety shielding. One incident involving a clutch failure and flying debris has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. These snowmobiles were sold in various colors at Arctic Cat dealerships nationwide between June 2016 and May 2017 for between $13,200 and $16,900. Consumers should stop using the vehicles and contact a dealer for a free repair.
The internal drive clutch can break apart while the snowmobile is running, causing metal fragments to be thrown from the vehicle. These flying pieces can strike the rider or bystanders, posing a serious impact hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact an Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair. Registered owners have been directly notified about this recall by mail.
