'09 recall too
I went in to p/u (or at least inquire as to when I could) my '09. My dealer told me all '09's manufactured before ~ mid August are having the drive shaft replaced as well. Same issue - bad metallurgy, high sulfur content in the steel. Dealer is in Cochrane Alberta.
I would think that most '09's would be affected as by mid August most are already manufactured. I am surprised no other posts have been placed regarding this issue as I know there are dealers on here.........
I wonder if the boys who have already picked up their '09's had the replacement done or simply rec'd ones after the issue was resolved or haven't been told yet.

Am I tripping?? Dejevu
My dealer emailed the notice to me on the 10th. I was the first one to call the dealer and get one ordered. The bulletin said that BRP was sending 2-3 shafts per dealer each week for the next 30-60 days, after that the units will increase till all sleds are taken care of. I'll be getting mine done in October when the first shaft gets there.

What is the potential problem? Cracks may be developing in the welded joints of the drive axle assembly and may lead to a complete breakage of the component. This may cause the track of the vehicle to suddenly lock. If this occurs riders may be ejected off the vehicle or loose control and collide with bystanders, a fixed object or other vehicles potentially resulting in serious injuries and/or death.
What should you do? Immediately stop using your vehicle, call an authorized BRP dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. He will replace the drive axle assembly. The dealer will perform this work at no charge to you.
What to do if you feel this notice is an error? This notice was mailed to you according to the most current information we have available. If you no longer own this vehicle or some information in this notice is incorrect, please contact BRP at your earliest convenience.

Read closer...
I would say based on what I read on the recall notice that the only model affected for 09 is the MXZ TNT model only, and the 08 models. That's how I read it...

I had my driveshaft replaced after that first one blew and sent me over the bars. I'm assuming that this one need to be replaced also?
SilverGriz,
I would agree that your previous replaced driveshaft would/will need to be replaced. This "new/improved" unit is just starting to be built and did not exist when your original was replaced during the 07/08 riding season.
