Consumer Recalls: Arctic Cat Snowmobiles

Arctic Cat Inc., of Thief River Falls, Minn. has recalled all 2010 Arctic Cat Z1, TZ1, F, Bearcat, M and CF model snowmobiles because the front lower suspension arm can crack during use, which could lead to loss of control and pose a risk of severe injury or death.  The model name is indicated on the side of the vehicle, in the registration materials and the owner’s manual.  The recalled snowmobiles were sold at Artic Cat dealerships nationwide from June 2009 through January 2011 for between $6,800 and $15,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using these snowmobiles and contact their local Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair.  For additional information, contact Arctic Cat at 800-279-6851 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website.

Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
