On certain snowmobiles equipped with an electric starter, the fastener torque applied to the starter motor may not have been accurately applied during vehicle assembly. An improperly torqued starter motor fastener bolt may become loose and fall out allowing the bolt to interfere with the steering drag link. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will torque starter bolts to specs.
