It's a Ski-Doo tread, it most definately will get blown out of proportion.

Warranty Bulletin 2011-18 800R E-TEC Piston Replacement is VIN-specific, affecting overall E-TEC MODELS as listed below that are 1) used generally at an altitude of 1200m (4000 ft) & above AND 2) have reached 2000km (1200 mi):

- 2011 Summit

Communication to dealer service depts is already underway with this exact same info, just reference Warranty Bulletin 2011-18. Re the website, it won't appear on the "recall information" page of the SD website since it's not a Safety Campaign. differences <--(2011-18 is a #4 from that list.)


Warranty Bulletin 2011-19 (released yesterday) involves the remaining low altitude 2011 800 E-TEC engine equipped vehicles. I've posted the problem/solution text below as was communicated to all Ski-Doo dealers yesterday. Be certain to note the requirements for completion. Like the previous campaign (2011-18), this is a campaign that will be supported by BRP and completed by Ski-Doo dealers for first, second, sixth, tenth... etc. owners through 2015.

NOTE: 2012 models already have the latest improvements and components and are not affected by this campaign.

PROBLEM
A. Under certain riding conditions, the piston ring locating pins may not meet long term durability requirements and may fail leading to severe engine damage.
B. The inner PTO crankshaft bearing seal may be incorrectly assembled and may fail leading to seal pop-out and eventually severe engine damage.

SOLUTION
A. Replace pistons with a new design, ONLY if the vehicle meets both of the following requirements:
– Vehicle used generally at an altitude below 1200m (4,000 ft).
– Vehicle has reached 5000km (3125 mi).
NOTE: Piston replacement is not required PRIOR to stated mileage.

B. Inspect crankshaft PTO inner bearing. Replace crankshaft only if defective.
NOTE: A bearing inspection below stated mileage will not reveal a possible failure. Vehicle must have attained the stated mileage to obtain a proper diagnosis.

That said, dealers have all of the service information in Warranty Bulletins 2011-18 and 2011-19 to complete the applicable campaign for 2011 800 E-TEC engine equipped models.

So you see.....not quite as serious as air bubbles in the oil line. Giggle, giggle.

 

[tantrumpipeline]

a lot more work and down time compared to a 5 min lay on it's side and a little on the heavy pre mix for the first 2 tanks though

 

[flying frenchman]

Well it's a recall, why not install new pistons every year would save them from blowing up, maybe they can cange the cranks too. I heard they will change the piston with the sled leaning on it's side. Ha! Ha! Ha!




Maxwell ruled Snow and Mud. Without his comments, the threads would be boring.
