Steve can you give more information in layman's terms what reworking the vehicle's fuel system means?

I could see that this scoop might even help the earlier years that have heat issues as well. A fix that looks good, Well Done!

+100 Steve!
Hoping BRP will eventually make these as orderable parts. Problem might be matching the paint of older models.

This appears to be where the adjustable air vents are mounted! Is BRP going to refund the money I paid for them? It a pears that I can no longer use them.
I am glad they came up with a solution, so I was wondering what I will do with these vents I invested in?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am going to go out on a limb here about the scoops as I have had my Spyder apart many times and looked at this area for a DIY.
The stock openings these vents feed is paneled off inside to the full internal engine area (they seem to be there to let heat from the radiator go up and out when your not moving).
My bet is just adding the scoops is not all they are doing. I think there is also going to be panel mods inside to direct the air from these scoops the back of the engine area.
Steve, care to elaborate? We are curious

Yes it looks like you will be losing the adjustable vents! Time for a aftermarket setup I think
Or figure out a way to mount the ones you have. Probably would not be hard.

Hi Larry rt,
If you're referring to the BRP Fixed upper wind deflector or BRP Adjustable side wind deflector, you will be credited for the current retail price of these items after they are removed and the recall has been performed on your Spyder. Your dealer will manage reimbursements for these items for use as credit for parts, accessories or maintenance services.

like i said, i hope it does work for the others having it done. i also did the bottom air vents but i still had hot air from the radiator blowing on my feet. i would of bet my bottom dollar that BRP would of tried to put a reversing fan motor on the radiator like the 14's, because that really worked wonders .

Someone on Facebook said they were a "tester" for this fix and in fact that they added the reverse fan.
Now realize one person saying this doesn't mean anything (it's the internet ) and even as a tester, that does not mean this was the final setup chosen by BRP.

Hey Gang,
Before we start down the rabbit hole of bad things, let's remember that Steve posted that the fix included, but not limited to reworking fuel components and body panels. So I am going to assume they maybe including the reverse fan that is discussed along with a few other components here and there. They did say this was a pretty big fix. So Steve can you elaborate more on exactly all of the components for this recall and break it all down for us?
Thanks

Would be "SWEET" if BRP posted the PDF of the instructions that come with the parts kit!
Also the BOSS web bulletin.
Please?

Thank you Steve for this , are there going to be a new style that will get some air to pilot & passenger , or means to make the adjustable attach to panels, in Tn.these are very importent .

Are the scoops part of the new panel or just an add on to the existing panel? Also will these scoops come painted to match existing color? Would be nice if panel was all one piece rather than an add on.

Hi finless,
While for obvious reasons we can't post that publicly, dealers will obviously share with customers specifically what is being done when the recall update is performed on their vehicle.
