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

go 4 stroke   then ya dont have to deal with that crap
