Arctic Cat snowmobiles recalled

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (UPI) --

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Arctic Cat snowmobiles due to a fire hazard.

About 3,000 Model Year 2009 Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo, Z1 Turbo Sno Pro and TZ1 Turbo snowmobiles have the potential to leak oil, which can pose a fire hazard, the commission said in a statement.

The company has received 33 reports of oil leaks, eight of them including fires, the commission said.

The snowmobiles were sold nationwide from June 2008 through July 2009 for $12,500 to $14,300.

Consumers were advised to stop using the snowmobiles and contact an Arctic Cat dealership to schedule a free repair.

Consumers can call 800-279-6851 for information.
