Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Yamaha is recalling 2016 model year SRViper snowmobiles equipped with a dealer-installed Mountain Performance Inc. (MPI) Turbo Kit.

The recalled snowmobiles come in multiple model variants (R-TX, L-TX, S-TX, X-TX, and M-TX) in various colors including blue, red, black, and white combinations. Owners can identify recalled units by checking for "SRViper" printed on both sides of the front cowling and verifying the VIN has the letter G in the 10th position to confirm 2016 model year manufacture.
Consumers who own one of these recalled snowmobiles should immediately stop using the vehicle and contact a local Yamaha dealer to schedule a free repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
