Textron Specialized Vehicles is recalling about 600 of its 2024 Arctic Cat Mountain 600 snowmobiles because a pin in the steering system was not secured correctly. This defect can cause the pin to fall out of the steering joint, which could lead to a loss of steering control and a crash. The firm has received six reports of steering pins coming loose or falling out, though no injuries have been reported. These snowmobiles were sold at Arctic Cat dealers nationwide between September 2023 and June 2024.
A pin on the steering knuckle joint can detach during use, causing the rider to lose steering control. This defect poses a serious crash hazard to the operator and bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the 2024 Arctic Cat Mountain 600 Snowmobile, and contact their local authorized Arctic Cat dealer for a free inspection of the steering column u-joint and free repair, if needed. The steering post joint on the Snowmobile will be inspected. If the pin is properly swagged, there is no repair needed. If the steering post joint pin was not properly swagged, the entire steering post assembly will be replaced.
The VIN is stamped on the tunnel section or the decal on the top/rear of the tunnel.
