Dear Can-Am Spyder RT 2013 Owner,
This safety recall notice is being sent to you following the interim notice sent in February 2015. BRP is conducting a safety recall on certain Can-Am roadster models. The remedy is now available.
Our records show that you own a potentially affected vehicle.
What is the potential problem?
Under very hot ambient conditions and low speed riding, the temperature in the engine compartment may rise and thereby increase the risk of a skin burn or a vehicle fire.
Which models are involved?
Can-Am Spyder RT roadster, model year 2013.
What should you do?
Call an authorized BRP Can-Am Roadster dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The solution is the installation of improved body panels and an upgraded fuel system kit. This repair should take approximately 4 hours to complete. The dealer will perform this work at no charge to you.
What should you do until your vehicle is repaired?
Although BRP insist to get all involved vehicles repaired rapidly, you can keep using your vehicle while taking the following precautions in hot riding conditions (ambient temperature of approximately
30 C/85 F and more):
Avoid idling or slow traffic riding for a long period of time.
Avoid parking in an enclosed area immediately after your ride, let your vehicle cool down first
Avoid prolonged direct contact with body panels; wear appropriate riding gear as stated in the Operator’s Guide.

longer own this vehicle or some information in this notice is incorrect, please contact BRP at your earliest convenience.
