Recalls and investigations

  1. Power train, manual transmissionMay 18, 2022

    Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Can-Am Spyder F3 and RT motorcycles. The front sprocket may be defective and prematurely wear, resulting in a loss of drive power.

    A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

    Dealers will perform an interim repair until parts become available. Once parts are available, the front sprocket will be replaced, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 26, 2022. Owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222.

    THE MOTORCYCLE HAS A VIBRATION IN THE HANDLE BARS STARTING AT 79 MPH THROUGH 82 MPH. IT THEN GOES AWAY. IT COMES BACK AFTER THE MOTORCYCLE IS GOING OVER 90 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DEALERS AND AS OF YET NO ONE CAN FIX IT.
