Chronology :

In December 2022, network status showed cases of brake lights staying on at a higher rate for MY 20222.

In trying to understand the trend, BRP made various tests and validations and looked at previous model year situation as well. BRP identified two issues:

1- Contamination on a previous brake light switch design which could induce corrosion over time and cause the brake lights to continuously illuminate. The position of the brake light switch in the vehicles is a key factor. The vehicles in this population are the MY2020 and 2021 Spyder RT.

2- The newer design of brake light switch was more resistant to contamination. However, it could have components with excessive friction for a proper brake light illumination functionality. The vehicles in this population are MY2022 and 2023 Spyder RT and MY2022 and 2023 Ryker.

With all the information collected and analyzed, BRP decided on March 9, 2023 it had enough information to report and wants to proceed with a safety recall.

For Spyder RT MY2020-2021-2022 and 2023, BRP received 175 warranty claims, of which 66 came from the USA. For Ryker MY2022-2023, BRP received 265 warranty claims, of which 168 came from the USA. No accident was reported worldwide.

The failure rate varies between models and model years. Spyder RT MY2020-2021 have a failure rate of 1,6%. Spyder RT MY2022 and 2023 have a failure rate of 0,20% and Ryker MY2022-2023 have a failure rate of 1,93%.
