Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that certain Ski-Doo snowmobiles equipped with 600R E-TEC, 850 E-TEC, and 850 Turbo R E-TEC engines may experience stuck throttles due to a defective engine control module (ECM) mounting component that can interfere with throttle operation.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Throttles becoming stuck during operation.
- Unexpected acceleration while riding.
- Loose or broken ECM mounting hardware.
- Loss of throttle control.

Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
