There is a service Bulletin comming out about this. They will put in longer bolts, that is what my dealer told me. They do not have it as of yet.

rob, thanks, checked mine tonite and yes they were loose. i didn't loctite them yet,but i'll check them often untill cat comes out with update.

 

[F-5 sno-pro]

yes mine were lose and i will be talking to my dealer about the replacements

Those are the bolts that are replaced, and I think the nuts on the rail ones (doesn't say exactly).

Also you should check the rear scissor lower bolt (long one). Seen a couple not so tight.

The front suspension mount bolt through the tunnel right next to the footwells. Mine was very loose on the left side. I checked the nose pieces in the rails too. They were both fine. thread showing through the nyloc ....

Dan,

Thanks for the 'heads up' on the rear lower scissor bolt. I checked mine just now and it was loose. It was far from (1-1/2 turns) from the 30 ft. lb. torque spec.

Those skid bolts always loosen. I check every few hundred miles. The recall is for the skid bolts. The bolts are too long and the threads are too short and the nylock nut does not snug up tight because the threads are too short.

 

[GF7PE]

i thought he mught be talking about the front front
