Engine Output Shaft Can Break - Potential Loss of Drive Power
Dear Can-Am® Vehicle Owner,
This notice is to inform you that your vehicle may contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person. BRP is conducting a safety recall.
Our records show that you own a potentially affected vehicle.
What is the potential problem? The output shaft installed on affected vehicles may be exposed to stress concentration that could cause fatigue failure. Over time, the output shaft may break, resulting in a loss of drive power while driving. This can increase the risk of a crash.
Which models are involved?
Certain 2017 to 2019 Can-Am Spyder RT and F3 vehicles
What will BRP do?
The corrective actions for this recall are under development and are NOT yet available.
BRP will offer the corrective actions free of charge.
BRP will send you a second letter to inform you of the corrective actions before January 31, 2025.
What should YOU do?
In the case of a loss of drive power, you will maintain steering and braking (including the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)), but you will not be able to maintain your speed. You will not have all the functionalities of the Vehicle Stability System (VSS).
If you leased this vehicle:
● Send a copy of this letter to the lessee within ten working days after the day you received this letter.
● Do the same with any future letters about this safety recall.
