What's recalled
Component: Exterior lighting (brake lights)
Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Spyder RT and 2022-2023 Ryker motorcycles. The brake lights may stay illuminated even if the brake pedal is not pressed. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and associated Equipment."
The risk
Brake lights that remain illuminated can fail to alert other motorists of the rider's intention and increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy and its status
Depending on the model, dealers will replace the brake light switch, adjust the brake light switch, and/or add a spring to the brake light switch, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 17, 2023. Owners may contact BRP Customer Service at 1-888-272-9222. BRP's number for this recall is 2023-6.
Status: NHTSA lists Mar 17, 2023 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
Can-Am recall number 2023-6
