Sea-Doo Switch – Accessory Double Bimini Top Mounting Frames May Break – Could Cause Serious Injury
To comply with Transport Canada and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) regulations, BRP has announced a safety recall that affects certain Sea-Doo® pontoon owners. This recall is aimed at pontoon owners whose boats may be equipped with the Double Bimini Top accessory. The potential problem stems from the fact that the Double Bimini Top mounting frames may break suddenly, which could result in pontoon occupants coming into contact with sharp edges or the bimini if it falls, potentially leading to severe injuries. It’s important to understand the gravity of this situation.
The models involved in this safety recall include Double Bimini Tops sold as an accessory for Sea-Doo® Switch pontoons, specifically the 21′ 295100962 and 18′ 295100823 Double Bimini Tops.
As part of the recall, BRP is issuing revised usage instructions for the Double Bimini Top accessory.
Pontoon owners are advised to take specific actions based on their circumstances. Those with a pontoon that does not have the Double Bimini Top should continue to follow the instructions in the Operator’s Guide and on the on-product warning labels. However, the pontoon is equipped with the Double Bimini Top as an accessory. In that case, it is essential to review and follow the revised instructions provided and keep them with the Operator’s Guide on the pontoon.
For individuals who have leased a pontoon equipped with the Double Bimini Top accessory, it is essential to send a copy of the safety recall letter to the lessee within ten working days and to continue doing so with any future letters about this recall.
The safety and satisfaction of pontoon owners are top priorities for BRP. They are committed to minimizing any inconvenience associated with this safety recall, ensuring your safety and peace of mind.
