Arctic Cat Catalyst 600 Snowmobiles Recalled for Brake Failure Risk

Agency Publication Date: March 7, 2024

Summary

Textron Specialized Vehicles is recalling about 2,700 Arctic Cat Catalyst 600 series snowmobiles from the 2024 model year because the brake line can touch the brake disc. This contact can damage the brake line and cause the vehicle to lose braking power, which could lead to a crash. The company has received three reports of brake line damage, but no injuries have been reported so far. These snowmobiles were sold at dealers nationwide between November 2022 and January 2024.

Risk

The brake line can rub against the brake disc during operation, leading to leaks or a complete failure of the braking system. This loss of braking control significantly increases the risk of a crash and serious injury to the rider.
