- Problem
- 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.

What this recall means for you
Certain Can-Am Spyder RT and Ryker three-wheeled motorcycles may have brake lights that stay illuminated even when the brake pedal is not pressed. This does not meet the federal lighting safety standard for brake lights.
Brake lights that remain on can fail to clearly show other drivers when the rider is actually slowing or stopping, and that confusion can increase the risk of a crash.
Authorized dealers will inspect and, as needed, replace, adjust, or add a spring to the brake light switch, free of charge. Owners can contact BRP Customer Service at 1-888-272-9222 and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
