Why it was recalled
The pin on the u-joint of the steering knuckle was not swagged correctly, which can allow the pin to come out of the u-joint and cause the rider to lose steering control, posing a crash hazard.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the 2024 Arctic Cat Mountain 600 Snowmobile, and contact their local authorized Arctic Cat dealer for a free inspection of the steering column u-joint and free repair, if needed. The steering post joint on the Snowmobile will be inspected. If the pin is properly swagged, there is no repair needed.
