Summary

Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (Bombardier) 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.

 

Remedy

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.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

 


PROBLEM

The front sprocket may be defective and may be subject to premature wear. Over time, the vehicle could lose propulsion. If the vehicle loses propulsion, there is an increased risk of a crash.

 

SOLUTION

The repair is NOT yet available.

Information about the repair will be announced before August 30, 2022.

This bulletin will be revised.

In the meantime, BRP will be offering an interim repair procedure in a separate Bulletin.

 

The procedure will act as a temporary solution until the front sprocket replacement is available, as all front sprockets will need to be replaced.

The interim procedure will be available on June 30, 2022 at the latest.

 

NOTE: The parts for the repair will gradually be available in a very limited quantity over an extended time period, due to supply chain limitations.

BRP will keep you informed in the EXPERIENCE NEWSLETTER of parts availability status.

 


Chronology :

Transport Canada opened an Issue Assessment in August 2021 and informed BRP. Transport Canada decided to escalate this assessment into a Preliminary Evaluation (3280-09-28) in January 2022. (BRP was informed shortly after in February 2022.) Discussions between Transport Canada and BRP occurred about this issue including the occurrences in the field in the past years, the type of failure and its possible consequences for the riders. Following the discussions with Transport Canada, BRP decided to proceed with a safety recall on relevant models worldwide on May 11, 2022.

In the United States, BRP could link 312 service contacts (by dealers or customers) and 434 VINs with warranty claims related to front sprocket wear with or without loss of power. One report could also be related in NHTSA claim database (11415023). While the first contacts and warranty claims were received from May 2015, it peaked in 2018 and 2019. BRP still received contacts and warranty claims in 2021 and 2022.

None of those claims or reports were related to injuries or deaths.
