Viper/Cat 7000 starter issues

[Vmax]

I have read that these sleds in model year 14/15 had starter failures. Any truth to that?

Thanks

There are some starter failures. Some the magnets came loose. Some kicked back and broke parts.
My 14 kicked back and broke the starter, idle gear, damaged the stator wheel and stator. I pulled the motor to clean out the chips in the oil pan and cleaned out the oil pump.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s isolated to 14/15 years.
