    2016 CanAm Spyder F3 Limited had a bad front sprocket. Began making noise & vibrating when on the road. Took it to the dealer & it was the front sprocket that is now under recall. I had the Spyder repaired at the cost of $465.46. I notified CanAm of my expenses to replace the sprocket & provided the bill from the dealer. They are refusing to now refund my expenses for the repair. They want to give me a credit towards CanAm products which I do not want any CanAm products. I want a refund for what I spent to fix the Spyder which is now under recall & the new sprocket will have to be replaced because it is also a defective sprocket.
