Reason

The fastener torque securing the starter motor to the engine crankcase may not have been accurately applied during the manufacture of these snowmobiles or during the installation of an accessory starter. An improperly torqued starter motor fastener bolt may become loose and fall out, allowing the bolt to interfere with the lower steering drag link. This could allow the consumer to experience a loss of steering control.
