This is a Can-Am Spyder with a parking brake problem. On-line in the forum, there are many of these problems on the bikes with an automatic transmission. The brake will either not engage which causes the bike to roll which could cause an accident. Can-Am dealers cannot fix the problem and will just throw parts at the problem and charge $90 to $120 an hour just to look at it. No one knows how to fix the problem. Can-Am needs to recall these vehicles before someone gets killed or hurt because the parking brake does not work.

MOTOR CYCLE WAS STORED IN GARAGE OVER WINTER IN CHICAGO AREA. STARTED IT UP ON FIRST DAY IN 80 DEGREES AND GETTING CODES P0552 AND P0551. THE BIKE DISPLAYS THE HANDEL BARS ON DISPLAY. RESEARCH SHOWS PROBLEM WITH DO'S WHICH IS A STEERING ASSIST UNIT. BRP (MANUFACTURE) OF THE MOTORCYCLE HAD HAD PRIOR RECALLS ON THE SAME UNIT IN PRIOR YEARS. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVING SAME ISSUE THAT RESULTS IN 2000.00 DOLLAR REPAIR. BIKE STILL RUNS BUT YOU CAN FEEL STEERING IS HARDER. ALTHOUGH THE BIKE IS A 2014 I ONLY PUT A FEW THOUSAND MILES EACH SUMMER DRIVING IT LOCAL. A BIKE WITH JUST OVER 10K MIES SHOULD NOT POP A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR SITTING IN STORAGE.

I OWN A 2014 CAN AM RT-SM6 MOTORCYCLE. IN OCTOBER 2018 I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING MECHANISM REALIGNED, IT WAS STEERING TO ONE SIDE. THIS WEEK THE PROBLEM IS BACK, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE STEERING MECHANISM IS LOOSE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, IF IT COMES LOOSE WHEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY MOTORCYCLE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN TRAVELING AND WHEN I GOT HOME I DOUBLE CHECKED AND THE ALIGNMENT IS VISUAL AND MEASURABLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH MY MOTORCYCLE.

THE BIKE WENT INTO LIMP MODE THE FIRST TIME 8 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. COMPLAINTS OF NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALONG WITH AIR SHOCKS LEAKING AND AN OIL LEAK ECT. I WAS RIDING ON BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHEN I COULDN'T DOWN SIFT THE BIKE BEFORE GOING INTO A CORNER. HAD TO POWER STIR THE BIKE AROUND THE CORNER AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL.
