BRP Snowmobile Recall

Multiple Ski-Doo models were recalled after they were found to contain a defect in the speedometer that caused the vehicle to display half of its true speed. Drivers who were unaware of the defect had an elevated risk of losing control and crashing, forcing the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to issue a safety warning and official recall. However, not all of Ski-Doo’s products contain the manufacturing error, only the following models:

• 2022 Ski-Doo Expedition 600 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Expedition 900 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Grand Touring 600 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Grand Touring 900 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Renegade 600 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Renegade 900 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Skandic 600 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Skandic 900 ACE
• 2022 Ski-Doo Tundra 600 ACE

All of the previously mentioned models were sold at Ski-Doo dealers across the country in various colors. If you recently purchased a Ski-Doo product and are unsure of what model it is, you can check the vehicle’s side panel where the model name is printed. Additionally, BRP has offered repair services for all affected models, and you should avoid using your product until you’ve received that service to prevent an unforeseen injury.

While not all of Ski-Doo’s products contain defects, the 2022 Expedition, Grand Touring, Renegade, Skandic, and Tundra models contain manufacturing defects that make the vehicles unsafe for their intended purpose. While operating the snowmobile, the speedometer won’t display the true speed and can easily confuse the driver, potentially resulting in a crash or injury. Some individuals may believe that they don’t need the speedometer to operate the vehicle safely, but this is merely a gamble, as high speeds and snowy conditions often don’t mix well. If you or someone you know owns one of the affected Ski-Doo models, you should avoid using it until you’ve received a repair from the manufacturer or found a safer alternative.

You might think that a lawyer isn’t worth it in a situation like this because the damage has already been done, but you should realize that this is an opportunity for change. By seeking to hold BRP accountable for their manufacturing mistakes, you’re showing the world that no organization can get away with this kind of behavior, regardless of their size or influence. When another company or manufacturer thinks they can get away with lackluster safety precautions, they’ll see that BRP was forced to answer for their actions and, hopefully, choose to do the right thing.

Additionally, a lawsuit can help you recover the damage you sustained if the snowmobile product injured you after the defect caused you to lose control. However, this is only if you have an experienced attorney by your side, one who understands and is well-versed in all aspects of product liability law. All of Morgan & Morgan’s offices are staffed with these very attorneys, and we’re prepared to do everything in our power to ensure that you’re compensated for the harm you endured at the hands of the manufacturer. Not only that, but our attorneys are backed by the resources of America’s largest personal injury firm, meaning that they have the capability to litigate longer and stronger than any other law firm.

In the most difficult moments of your life, Morgan & Morgan has your back. BRP’s failure to properly safety-test their products prior to sale isn’t your burden to bear, as they’re legally responsible for the harm their products cause once they’re sold in the open market. As a consumer, you’re entitled to recover damages if their products caused you harm, and what better way to do that than teaming up with a firm that’s committed to getting the best possible results for their clients. BRP might believe they can escape the liability of their actions, but with one of our product liability attorneys on the case, it’s more than likely that they’ll have to answer for their injustices and compensate the victims for what they’ve been through.
