Heads up if you live in the US or Canada and purchased certain models of 2025 Ski-Doo or Lynx snowmobiles as parent company Bombardier Recreational Products is recalling them for a potential safety issue.
The issue stems from a fault in the production process where an engine control module (ECM) lower mount support may have been broken. If pieces of this broken bracket fall into engine compartment they could potentially wedge themselves in a way that could cause the throttle to stick. This poses a crash hazard and risk of serious injuries or death. Bombardier Recreational Products has received four reports of a stuck throttle. No injuries have been reported.
If you have any questions regarding the recall please reference the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert.
