Product

Model Year 2025 Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles equipped with a 600R E-TEC, 850 E-TEC or 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine

Description

This recall involves certain Model Year 2025 Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles equipped with a 600R E-TEC, a 850 E-TEC or a 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine. The brand name “Ski-Doo,” the model name and engine type are printed on the side panels of the vehicles. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is on the decal located on the right-hand side of the tunnel underneath the seat. Dealers can check for VINs included in this recall. The snowmobiles were sold in various color combinations.

Hazard

The engine control module (ECM) lower mount support could have broken in production and left a loose part inside the engine compartment, allowing it to enter the throttle body area and lead to a stuck throttle. This poses a crash hazard and risk of serious injuries or death.

Incidents & Injuries

The firm has received four reports of a stuck throttle. No injuries have been reported.

Remedy Instructions

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snowmobiles and contact a BRP dealer to schedule a free appointment. Dealers will inspect the ECM and the throttle body area to look for any ECM lower mount support broken part. If found, dealers will remove the detached part and replace the ECM free of charge. BRP is contacting all known purchasers.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this product immediately. Contact the manufacturer for a Repair at no charge. If you experienced an injury, report it at SaferProducts.gov.

Frequently Asked Questions

Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Repair) at no cost to you.

Yes. If you were injured by a defective consumer product — whether recalled or not — you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer and potentially the retailer. A recall notice can serve as evidence that the manufacturer was aware of the defect. Injuries that may support a claim include burns, lacerations, fractures, electric shock, choking incidents, and chemical exposure. Most product liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. Consult an attorney promptly, as statutes of limitation vary by state.

In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.

If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
