    Default Don't know. ..!!

    Who to call but you can check your vin # to see if they changed it back when they had all the issues with the throttle bodys. I know some changed them a couple of times. But in the case that no one can get your problem resolved ebay has many throttle bodies for under two hundred...not a big help but a solution...

    dont think ill do-it-yourself, so ill have to go through local BRP service and pay $823 for TB and $450 labor. Id like BRP to foot the bill$ for just the part(as they should)..checked vin# and nothing, which is what i was expecting,NOTHING..

    Default Thorttle body

    I must have been living under a shell, but can someone tell me what is the basic problem with the throttle body(s)?

    Thanks

    need to contact Steve personally, while they work out
    the PM problem, can simply send an email to prb.care@brp.com ,
    mark their email "Attn: Steven M.", and identify themselves

    That machine is six years old. Good luck on trying to get the company to pay for this.

    It doesn't mean that he can't ask...
    I was a year out of warranty with my 2010, when BRP replaced the throttle bodies for the second time...for free!

    It's all in the way the question is asked. Have heard of many instances where BRP went above and beyond is solving issues. The contact Bob gave is a good one for Steve (the go to person).

    The issue of expired warranty also came to mind for me. Let us know what happens.

    Had mine done last year on my 2010 RT and the dealer contacted BRP several times. Be very persistent. BRP covered the TB cost, I paid for labor. Tell them it just shuts off driving down the road and it has put you in a very dangerous situation. Let them know it has done that several times. That's what I did and it wasn't a lie. Because that thing would just decide it would go into Limp Mode and shut down no matter where you were.
