On certain snowmobiles, while the vehicle is not in operation, the electric starter may engage by itself, which could start the engine. This could only occur if the operator leaves the engine cut out switch in the "ON" position and the tether cut out switch cap on the switch post. If the engine runs in a non ventilated area, it would pose a risk of asphyxiation.
Also, while the vehicle is idling, the engine may stop and then restart in the reverse stationary mode (SDI models only). If this were to occur, the operator could have his/her vehicle start in reverse mode and if he/she did not pay attention to the change of mode (with the reverse alarm sounds emanating from the Warning Buzzer and with the blinking of the Reverse Pilot Lamp), he/she could apply throttle and have the vehicle move unintentionally in reverse. Correction: Dealer will replace the electric start switch.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2003061.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ski-Doo: 80 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
