Arctic Cat has voluntarily recalled 16,500 of its 2010 Arctic Cat Z1, TZ1, F, Bearcat, M, and CF model snowmobiles due to a potential loss of control, says the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

According to the commission's website, the front lower suspension arm can crack during use which could lead to loss of control. This poses a risk of severe injury or death.

Arctic Cat has received 13 reports of suspension arms cracking. No injuries or accidents have been reported.

Models affected by this recall are all 2010 Arctic Cat Z1, TZ1, F, Bearcat, M, and CF model snowmobiles. All variations of color and model features of the models listed are included in this recall. The model name is indicated on the side of vehicle, in the registration materials and owner's manual.

These snowmobiles were sold nationwide from June 2009 through January 2011 for between $6,800 and $15,000.

The commission says riders should immediately stop using their snowmobile and contact their local Arctic Cat dealer to schedule a free repair. Registered owners should already have been directly notified about this recall by mail.

More info: Contact Arctic Cat at (800) 279-6851 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.arctic-cat.com.
