On certain snowmobiles, incorrect High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) material was used to mold the top of the fuel tank. This material is not designed for use with gasoline. Over time, with exposure to gasoline and gasoline vapors, the filler neck can crack, allowing fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank on snowmobiles that have not had the fuel neck insert kit installed as part of recall 2005289. Snowmobiles that already have an insert kit installed, and that experience additional cracking around the filler neck area, will also have the fuel tank replaced.
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 2007352.

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 Polaris: 197 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
