What owners report
See attached document for complaint. I am writing to you about the attached letter from BRP (reference letter dated January 22, 2025 re: Engine Output Shaft Can Break- Potential Loss of Drive Power-NHTSA Campaign ID Number 24V728). My Can-Am Spyder is affected by this issue. As stated in the instructions in the letter, I contacted my local authorized BRP Can-Am dealer to have the repair completed. I provided my Can-Am Spyder RT to Coleman Powers ports in Falls Church, VA on March 26, 2025. The letter goes on to state that the repair takes approximately 8 hours. After discussion with Coleman Powers ports, they advised this is grossly incorrect, as the engine must be removed and the work scop
The contact owns a 2017 Can-Am Spyder F3. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V728000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and the contact was informed that the part for the recall repair was discontinued. The representative stated that parts were not available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
How sad it is that in a recall of a deficient product, that the manufacturer gets to not fix the vehicle if it has more miles on it than they like (see attached, my vehicle is a 2017 with 60K). If a product is deficient, it is deficient, isn't it? Just because I like the vehicle and take good care of it, they penalize me by not replacing the deficient part. Is this part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration policy? Now if that part breaks, I have to pay to fix their defective product with my Social Security income, and I'm sure it won't be cheap! If this is your policy, thanks for not taking care of ALL of us!
