What happened

Arctic Cat is recalling certain 2012 F, XF, and M model snowmobiles because the headlamp fuse can fail, which may disorient the operator during low visibility conditions and create a crash hazard. The affected snowmobiles can be identified by checking the last six digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) located on the right side tunnel—models with VINs ending in 105092 through 112175 or 800001 through 800033 are included in the recall. The snowmobiles are available in various color combinations including Black with White and Orange, Black and Orange, or Black and Green.

Consumers who own affected snowmobiles should immediately stop using them and contact their local Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer to schedule a free repair. Arctic Cat has already notified owners of recalled snowmobiles by mail.
