Model Year 2006 FS Classic, FS Touring, FST Classic, FST Touring and FST Switchback Snowmobiles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Polaris Industries is recalling certain 2006 model year snowmobiles because the right and left front suspension shock towers can separate due to inadequate welding during manufacturing. When these welded joints separate, steering can become stiffer or the shock mount can fail suddenly, potentially causing the rider to lose control and crash.
The affected models are the 2006 FS Classic, FST Classic, FS Touring, FST Touring, and FST Switchback. Consumers can identify their snowmobile's model and serial number on a decal located on the right side of the tunnel underneath the seat. According to the recall, affected consumers should stop using their snowmobile immediately and contact their Polaris dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair, where dealers will install a replacement kit with new shock towers.
