Arctic Cat has issued yet another recall, this time on 19.000 models previous recalled this past December.

The recall was issued yesterday, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Administration along with the warning that owners should discontinue use of the machines immediately until a repair has been scheduled.

The concern is over the lower steering tie-rod attachment, which the company says can loosen and cause loss of steering control, posing a potential crash hazard. There have been no injuries, however, the company says they have received four reports of incidents in conjunction with the machines – including one complete loss of steering control.

The recall involves the 2012 model year of the F, XF, and M model snowmobiles.

The model name is located on each side of the hood. The snowmobiles were sold in a variety of color combinations from May of last year through last December at a per unit cost of $10,500 and $14,500.

Consumers should immediately stop using these snowmobiles and contact their local Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair.
