The issue stems from the Drive Belt Lower Idler Support, which was manufactured using a material not strong enough to withstand normal downshifting loads. As a result, the support can fail without warning, allowing the pulley to move and potentially leading to a complete failure of the drive belt. Although no injuries or accidents have been reported, five failures have been documented—four of them in the U.S.—prompting the company to initiate a safety recall.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

Owners may hear noises or notice damage to the component before the belt fails entirely, but in many cases, no warning signs are expected. The affected component was manufactured by Canadian supplier Matritech. Dealers were notified on July 10, and interim letters will be sent to customers on July 25. Final notifications with repair details are expected by August 15. Consumers will be instructed to park the vehicles and not drive them until the remedy is completed.

Bombardier Recreational Products is developing a redesigned part using the originally intended, more durable material. Dealers will install this new part free of charge. Until the repair is available, owners are strongly advised to avoid using the vehicle to prevent potential loss of propulsion while on the road.
