Spyder Recall package

[thatk9guy]

got a package in the mail today from BRP, Came home from work today and saw the package on the table, from the writing on the package label it reads "Important Safety Recall Notice", Shipped from Lachine QC, Canada to my residence in South Carolina. Opened it up and it was a new gas cap. I have attached a copy of the recall letter. I will take a ride with the warm weather this weekend and see if the Gas smell goes away.

Thanks for the info I received the recall on the evap can waiting to see if my:spyder2: is on the list for a fuel cap although I have no gas smell.:thumbup:

[spydercoach]

I called BRP CUSTOMER SERVICE yesterday because i never got a voucher for the new side plate for oil inspection and at the time I asked them about the gas cap and they told me they were shipping them out to owners in the south first because of their extended riding season and then to us folks in the rain belt northwest later. OK mine is sleeping right now anyway. Just thought I'd share what they told me.

[ulflyer]

Friend of mine got her gas cap yesterday. Maybe they're doing the southern states first.

[gnirtsnod]

Got mine yesterday, just in time for a mid-seventies weekend. ;)

[paulbrinker]

Me too. Came just as I got home after getting gas. (or as they say in Canada gaz.)

[AZSPYDER]

[ronrico]

NO letter and/or NO gas cap as of yet. Another waiting game I guess.

[jerpinoy]

[Campverdefela]

Got my gas cap today. No sign of the Evap canister recall yet.

[ARtraveler]

Received recall notices on the 2008 and 2009 GS/RS--neither of which I own any more.

Have not received gas caps for the 2010 or 2011 RT's yet.

Got the letters for the evap canister recall on my two '09 SE5s, but no gas caps. I know that no one down here is originally from here, but this is the South! 😛

Thanks for the update spydercoach mine is also sleeping although I should pull it out to change plugs & wires & Y-Pipe gaskets while the snow is on the ground.

Went to the BRP website to check this out. It did not state which models were involved. Does anyone know if it is all of us. :dontknow:

[tobor9]

I think it's everyone as we have an RT and a RS and got a new cap for each.

[james danny]

Got my gas cap 2 days ago 120 miles and a fill up no gas smell after fill up.

[Smokinspyder]

[NancysToy]

Just a reminder that these are being mailed out over a period of time, in order of riding seasons, with warm climates first. Those of us in the North will need to be patient.

[DR Buck]

[spyder11]

Haven't recieved anything here in eastern panhandle of west virgina but mine is in the building waiting for warm weather so hopefully I will get it by spring and I wish they would make a recall on the canister too.:rolleyes:

[DR Buck]

Nothing here yet either. I may go for a ride today. :D

Scratch that ride idea. As I sat here drinking my coffee, the sun disappeared and the temperature dropped 10○. Wind also picked up.:banghead:

[Spydaman]

[Farmboy]

Mine came in Tuesday. Good to go now.

[Spyder-Bob]

Got my gas cap yesterday after a 80 mile ride I never smell gas but i put the new one on anyway. I do get some vapor smell some days in the garage after riding i think i should get the e-vap checked no sign of that recall yet.

[Green RSS]

I recieved two gas caps yesterday. One for my 12 RSS and one for my wifes 12 RS. Put them on last night.

[johnwinslow]

Got My Gas Cap the 21st and i am in Maine i am not going to go for a ride, at zero degrees nojoke

[RAYYOU]

Cap came in the mail today.

[Kreepshow]

I'm in south Jersey. I got mine yesterday.

[DynamoBT]

Got mine yesterday too. But, it's going to sit in the box until spring. I doubt bad things will happen while the Spyder is sitting in hibernation. Never had the gas smell. Hope that continues. Think I had the evaporation hose re-root done already at an early service. As I recall Carlo called my dealer to make sure they did it for free. Will have the Spyder looked over anyway as the season starts.

[Sierra Shark]

Got my (made in Mexico, shipped from Canada to California) gas cap replacement about a week ago. Filled up the Spyder Monday with the "new" cap and went for a 150 mile ride. Got home and the bike reeked of gas! :banghead: Finally went away after about an hour of sitting in the garage with the door open. So much for the fix.....:gaah: What gives ???:helpsmilie:

[NancysToy]

If the new cap aggravated or caused a gas fume problem, you have other issues. I expect those would be with the emissions system or the fuel pump/vent assembly. See your dealer. People need to start reporting these issues, so BRP will take notice and find what is happening. Don't take "No" or "Normal" for answers.

I got my new gas cap today and now I have gas smell, I'm glad I didn't throw away my old one, if smell doesn't stop I am putting old one back on, it didn't have that problem :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Update!! have ran through couple tanks of gas and no problem with gas smell, must have been a fluke that first day or maybe I had a small over flow and did not know it, guess the new cap stays on thanks BRP.

[eddieshep999]

Got my New fuel cap following the safety recall in Canada/USA
Good advice and Link obtained via the BRP Facebook Page for the Canada/USA Site

Made contact with BRP Customer Dept the passed details to BRP Europe - They advised me to contact Can-Am dealer
for assistance

Made contact with Can-Am dealer HUGHENDENM40 Thame Oxon UK

They posted new Fuel Cap to me today - Sent e mail to thank them :-

Bruce (Service Manager)

Thanks - Fuel Cap arrived safe and sound
I feel alot happier that I have the new Cap

Please accept my thanks for sorting this safety issue out and I will be contacting Can-Am to express all the help
you have given me on this matter

Eddie

Its nice to be able to post a positive response from BRP - Long may it continue

[BAD RSS]

Got mine Friday. I always thought mine wasn't closing tight enough. The clicker never had enough resistance. This new cap makes me feel better after I fill up.

[Racerwood]

Received mine today, I live in central Pa.

[Raptor]

Got both of mine too. They came within 2 days of each other. Have not put them on yet, and after reading some of the posts here I may not bother. no problems with either machine, so I may leave well enough alone.

[bonehead]

We got both of ours yesterday. :yes:

[eddieshep999]

Posted in an earlier thread I have now got my New fuel Cap :-

Received a letter in the post today from BRP European Distribution Ltd

It was the Safety Recall Notice

It confirms we are to get the New Fuel Cap (Free of Charge)
and to contact an authorised BRP Can-Am dealer to advise them you need a new and improved Fuel Cap

Or To make an appointment to have your fuel cap replaced
it will take less than 10mins and again (at no charge to us)

It's pleasing to think BRP have taken our concerns seriously and are contacting owners at last
even though I have already got mine

Maybe things with BRP Europe are looking up
Still need to keep the pressure on though

[nutz]

Got mine yesterday. looks functionally much better.

[pathfinderjoe]

Got my replacement gas cap last week. I removed my evap can years ago because of the reports of fires and gas odors reported by owners of 08 and 09 spyders.
