A total of 439 Bearcat 570 XT and Bearcat Z1 XT snowmobiles -- all 2013 models -- are being recalled after it's been discovered that the fuel tank may have been damaged during vehicle assembly.

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Owners should take their snowmobile to their local Arctic Cat dealer to have the fuel tank checked out and replaced if necessary.
