Did folks see this???? Seems like this is the Red Dust of Death - finally being recalled! :-). Do others read this the same way?

Yes and for a limited time. Do not wait get it checked and fixed.
Were YOU contacted?
If not your vehicle was NOT recalled.
Recalls REQUIRE they contact you. Looks more like YOU fond the recall.
If anything like a CAR they will NOT service your Spyder.

Given that it is dated yesterday and just posted on their website - I'm sure many are not "yet" contacted - which is why I posted it for folks to be on the lookout - and/or run the VIN check on their website.Quote:

You can feel free to ignore this post until YOU get a letter if you like. Sorry my attempt at knowledge share has offended you.
2019 F3S .. Not on the list (at this time)..
I was notified this morning at midnight by email. I assume I will receive the actual mailed version but I received the same message as above. I just Called dealer. There is “NO” remedy or solution yet established but the dealers received the notice also. It is only a notification until the exact procedure is sent to the dealers. Ironically, I just posted this same question on another thread that my dealer wanted to remove my front pulley and grease for prevented maintenance at 28000 miles and this comes out now. This includes RT’s also.
I'm still fascinating and trying to figure out how they are "determining" which machines 2015-2019 are impacted. As of the moment neither of my VINs show impacted on their website. We shall see. I bought my 2015 F3S used from a private seller so not sure I'd get the recall notice. We bought our 2019 RTL new though so if it gets lumped in we should see that.Quote:

I guess now that the NTSB is involved they may have to come up with a true fix for the problem. One can only hope
Thanks for posting. Mine doesn't show up yet but it's way early in the process.
."GREASE " that is a RED flag to me !!!!!! .... hopefully your dealer will use " MOLY-PASTE " ..... JMHO ....Mike :thumbup:Quote:

I've heard sprocket and pulley over and over again - depending on who you talk to. I always called it a pulley myself.Quote:

About time BRP did a recall. Recall available for 2015 and up.
I got lucky. Bought our '15 F3S 23k miles used in the fall. Wife only put 100 miles on it and the pulley/sprocket failed. Dealer covered repair fully. Other than having to retrieve it via trailer and taking a 3.5 hr road trip back to the dealer to get it fixed mines been fine. White version was installed.
I'm a red dust inspector now after cleaning out all the old dust build up.
That failure is also what has me a regular reader here now also. Thanks to everyone who has come before me.
Just checked my VIN and so far I'm in the clear. The thought occurred to me that the reason why some bikes are included and others are not may be due to BRP sourcing the pulleys from different vendors.
I just read that notice, it only covers 2015 to 2019.
Finally ... an answer to my question of which models and years are affected;
What is the potential problem?
The front sprocket may be defective and may be subject to premature wear. Over time, the vehicle could lose propulsion. If the vehicle loses propulsion, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Which models are involved?
Certain 2015 to 2019 Can-Am® Spyder RT and F3 vehicles
That is very interesting, indicates a very strong possibly that the fix involves more than the new white pulley as a repaired unit requires something additional rather than the white current pulley to satisfy the recall.Quote:

BRP rep opened a case for the cost, sent me an email with the required proof of purchase request. Sent them the 3 receipt copies. Lets see how long it takes to get the money back.
Side note: BRP rep said it was a 1 hour fix. To me that means they are just going to replace the sprocket with a "white" one. FYI - I already have stripped out a "white" sprocket and I'm on my second one)

This recall is something completely different to the white pulley fix, and if you read the notice, what they are doing from 30 June is not a 1 hour 'Fix' - it's a 1 hour 'Interim Procedure', but then at some later stage (starting from 30 August??) 'all sprockets will need to be replaced'. See the quote below with the pertinent points highlighted:
So this 'Interim Procedure' is simply an attempt to get the sprockets to last until they can get everything necessary to replace them with whatever's needed for the final fix; but this first bit, it's NOT a 'Fix', not yet, anyway! :lecturef_smilie:Quote:
BRP will be offering an interim repair procedure. The procedure will act as a temporary solution until the front sprocket replacement is available as all front sprockets will need to be replaced. The procedure will be available at your dealer starting on June 30 and should take less than an hour.
The parts for the final repair will gradually be available in a very limited quantity over an extended period, due to supply chain limitations. The replacement procedure should be available at your dealer starting on August 30 and should take less than an hour.
And from the image in Wmoater's post #12 above, while it's good that BRP says they'll reimburse those who've replaced their sprockets previously at their own expense, I do hope they'll also look after those few who ended up needing to replace the shaft as well?!? :dontknow:
At least now it's on the table & some 'fix' moves are afoot! :thumbup:
Just checked my VIN and so far so good.
