NEWS from BRP Regarding 2017 F3 Limited

[Bob Denman]

I guess that they changed the color on the top trunk (unaffected by any but the WORST fuel spills!), to kind of give you a "Black stripe Over The Top" look...
It makes sense.

Hi everyone,

We've been following this thread closely and we want to make sure you got the right information. Here are the facts: in order to offer the high level of quality that all customers can expect from their Can-Am, we had to change a few intense red parts for steel black metalic, as you can see in the picture below. As a result, the Spyder F3 Limited Intense Red is now the F3 Limited Steel Black metalic / Intense Red. No other changes have been made aside from these concerned parts.

We're very sorry for any confusion that arose from this.

Thanks,

BRPcare team

thanks for your in put to provide the correct information.
two tone color still looks great

[ARtraveler]

No problem here. I like the two tone look.

[MRH]

Catch and fix the issue before distribution, notify people properly, and make a few other parts black as well so it all looks good (and, to my eye, better).

Well handled.

[Peteoz]

I think the red and black combination looks nicer than the all red bike

I don't

[Peteoz]

So I guess I just have to be very, very careful when filling up. This wasn't the exact reason I bought the carbon fibre tank protector from Wrapmyspyder though . I wonder if they will offer to repaint the tank if I DO spill some petrol on it

[Pirate looks at --]

I don't

Totally agree Pete! I absolutely did not want that black tank! That is why I paid extra to get the L. I have only had one very small fuel spill with no consequences in 7000 miles.

[Bob Denman]

Is there any sort of clear coating that you could put over that panel to protect it?

[BRPcare]

We have an all red model and we have an accidental furl spill, will BRP provide with free black panels to replace the red we have now?

Hi Pirate looks at --,

Please, write us an email to brp.care@brp.com with your VIN, so that we can look into it.

Thank you,

Hi Roland et al,

I believe Pirate was asking a hypothetical question on behalf of us "all red" riders. He just accidentally left an "if" out of his question. So what is our course of action if we DO have an accidental fuel spill that marks the tank? The BRP action of "Give us your VIN and we'll look into it" is not very reassuring. What are the potential actions that BRP will take to rectify the issue, as long as the VIN number matches your records?

Mind you, I'm sure we will take even more care than normal when filling up now that we know there could be an issue, but sometimes fuel pump issues are unavoidable.

I bought the F3T because I didn't want the chrome, but I really wanted the all red. Alas I'm now thinking of a red tank protector from SpyderWraps to sort of "un-black" that part.

I agree with u. I got the f3 limited but I had my dealer replace the chrome parts with black and I love it.

Why did BRP increase the cost of the top case parts? (Top case is $1499 in catalogue and $1625 online; side panels are $199, now $215, AMP was $299, now $325)

Gettin ready for that border tax.

Chris, would you mind moving this question to a new thread please? It has nothing to do with the issue of fuel spills on the red F3-L and will just muddy the waters for those of us trying to effect a resolution.....Thanks...

Pete

Well hope BRP come with a solution for us with all red units of ever something happens to the paint. I'll definitely bring some rags to put around the gas tank in case of that ..

Hey everyone,

Here's a quick update. In response to some of you who had questions about their 2016 Intense Red F3 Limited, it is unaffected by this issue.

Thanks!

Not only did they change the color but they also left off most of the chrome accents, chrome driver and passenger footboards, the Garmin GPS, and fog lights, which are all standard on RTS limited. On the F3 you will have to pay extra for the standard "LIMITED" options. I also wonder they introduced the all Red version to change it now. The reason I got it had something to do with the paint around the fuel tank, but that does not explain changing the trunk top, upper front end and mirrors. By the way, they did not change the color scheme on the white, silver, or black models.
"Can Am you should go back to offer the all red version"

Does anyone know how I can go about getting the paint color code for touch up paint? I can find it for about every color except the Intense Pearl Red.

Thanks Roland! Good to know. I had forgotten about this thread and had not read this until today. While ryding 6800 miles to homecoming and back I had a pretty bad fuel spill and I was freaking out! I immediately wiped everything down and there were no signs of damage. So I can certify that the 16s don't have the same problem. Is the paint on the 17 different?
