    Exclamation Clarification on the Transport Canada safety recall on 2013 Spyder RT and ST

    Hello everyone,

    As some of you might already know, today Transport Canada published a recall notification from BRP on all 2013 Can-Am® Spyder® RT and ST series roadsters.

    BRP has proposed a solution to the issue raised by the recall; this recall notification has been approved for affected vehicles within Canada by Transport Canada. Agencies in other countries are also reviewing the solution for their own jurisdictions, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States.

    All of the details on the issue, the recall and the solution are being communicated to BRP's Canadian dealers as well as to all Canadian owners of a vehicle that is affected by Transport Canada's. As soon as we have the green light from agencies in other countries, we will release the same information to the dealer network and owners of affected vehicles within those countries, including NHTSA in the United States.

    Following are some additional details regarding the recall:
    What issue does this recall address?
    Under some riding conditions, the tandem master cylinder manifold inlet may melt and cause brake fluid to drip onto a heat source, which may lead to a vehicle fire.
    How will the recall address this issue?
    To correct this condition, dealers will install BRP-tested, specially-designed heat shields and heat deflector to reduce the heat in the general area of the tandem master cylinder manifold inlet and prevent it from melting.
    Should I continue to ride my 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT or ST until the safety recall is performed on my vehicle?
    As you are now aware of the details of this safety recall, if you continue to ride your vehicle make sure to give yourself enough time to react. Contact your dealer at your earliest convenience.
    Should I contact my Can-Am Spyder dealer for full details of this recall?
    In Canada, our dealer network is being fully briefed on this safety recall. In other countries, we cannot release full details to our dealer network until the regulatory procedures with their respective agencies are completed. As soon as BRP is able to do so, our dealer networks in those countries will be fully briefed on this safety recall.

    In the meantime, if you have more questions, in Canada, consumers can contact their BRP authorized dealer. In the U.S., you may contact BRP directly by calling us at 1-888-638-5397 (U.S. & Canada only) from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern time Monday to Thursday, and 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern time Friday.

    We apologize for any inconvenience and we will keep you informed.

    Since a recall has been issued in Canada, and there is an apparent "fix" for the issue, would it not be in the best interest - Public Relations wise - to be proactive, and offer the fix, or initiate the recall in other countries?

    Hi Shelbydave,

    In the original message, we mention that the fix is already under evaluation at NHTSA in the United States.

    I see I got no response on the other heat shielding issues including the one sheild that was removed on the 2013 in front of the gas tank/ console area that people have shown pictures of on other years. I hope BRP addresses the overheated gas tank in the same way. Gas caps that are almost too hot to touch are NOT a good thing.

    Glad to hear that information about fixing a common complaint has been posted and that an official solution for those of us in the US is not far off.

    Thank you BRP.

    Steve, I notice that your post clearly says all 2013 RT and ST series roadsters and when you read the Transport Canada recall #2013288 it says on certain can-am spyder RT series and ST series roadsters which is correct

    We're pushing out info to dealers at this time. It's possible that some dealers might not have received or checked for the recall immediately. At any rate, you can rest assured that all Canadian 2013 Spyder RT and ST models are covered under the Transport Canada recall. Both you and your dealer will be advised directly as the information goes out.

    Thanks Steve. Just a clarification - it says: "All 2013 Spyder RT and ST roadsters in Canada" - is this to differentiate from USA roadsters? IS there a different build for the Canadian ones that would cause this, or are they identical and the Canadians just acted faster on this? Any idea of VIN ranges?
