Warranty BS
A friend of mine has gone to arizona for 4 or 5 week vacation. He took his 2017 RT Limited along to drive while he is there. So today he sends a picture of his Spyder being loaded on a tow truck. He tells me it would not start towed to dealer who diagnosed a bad starter that needs to be replaced. Here's the kicker. Not covered under warranty because the Spyder was bought in Canada. Where else would he buy it. He lives in Canada. Advised by the dealer he would have to pay for the repair or take it back to Canada for repair. I know that's incorrect and told him so. Called BRP myself. Got a gentleman on the line who went to look it up because he did not know for sure. After a short while he told me it was covered. Not sure why the dealer says it's not covered. Advised that the dealer should call the dealer line. So my friend called BRP directly himself. Got someone else who says it's not covered. That's BS. I have read the warranty and it is covered.

Really Spyder is manufactured in Canada so now because he took it to the USA it's not covered something stinks here

Should we, who bought in the US, be concerned about 10th Anniversary in Canada?????
I hope someone in BRP is not addressing this properly.

I believe that someone at BRP is not applying the warranty correctly in this case.

Which dealer in AZ?
What dealer did he go to in what town? Being in AZ I want to know, and others may want to know as well.

my understanding was if you crossed the border from the US to Canada, your warranty will not cover it. I could be wrong but I believe I remember reading about that here some time ago.
again my memory ain't what it used to be and I could be wrong.

This is from the 2017 RT Limited Operator's Guide
"1. SCOPE OF THE LIMITED WARRANTYBombardier Recreational Products Inc. (“BRP”)* warrants its 2017 Can-AmSpyder Roadsters ("Roadster") sold by authorized Can-Am Roadster Dealers (asdefined below) in the United States of America and in Canada from defects inmaterial or workmanship for the period and under the conditions described below."
There is no place anywhere else in the US/Canada warranty that says a roadster purchased in either country will not be covered by the provosions of the warranty in the other country.
I guess if a roadster owner is forced to call BRP on a warranty issue the owner should be prepared to ask for the full name of the BRP representative to whom he/she is speaking as well as the name of that representative's first born so that the latter can be sacrificed in the event the BRP representative is subsequently found to be incorrect in any information provided.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

The 2014 warranty page is the same looks like. The heading clearly states BRP Limited Warranty - USA and Canada. The only restrictions are as has been said the buyer must be a resident of the country where he is buying it and the dealer must be an authorized dealer in that country. The only other limitation is that Spyders sold in the US have a 5 year warranty on the emissions system. Canada does not.
Otherwise everything is discussed without regard to country of purchase or use.

Steve from BRP Cares?
Maybe Steve from BRP cares can answer this warranty issue. I will be going around lake superior this summer. Would like to know that my Spyder would be fixed if a warranty problem should arise.

This line
"the buyer must be a resident of the country where he is buying it and the dealer must be an authorized dealer in that country."
Sure sounds like you have to get it fixed in the country you bought it in....bummer if true.

If you cross either way is how I remember it too, but, that's from my 2011 manual.
EDIT: Since my Spyder is in the shop with the OM, it took me a while to see how far off I was. And it appears I was(i'll call it age related if you don't mind). The only thing I found in my now old OM(copy) is: a Spyder must be purchased in the country - USA/Canada - that the purchaser resides in. I found no mention relating to repair exclusions.
Again, my OM is dated.........as in 2011.

If this stupidity turns out to be true, it is an outrage. However, I'm sure it is not true. People cross the US/Canada border every day on their Spyders.
BRP dealers and BRP need to get their darn act together. GRRR.

He is in Surprise AZ. That's near Phoenix I think. The dealership is Ridenow Powersports. Multiple locations, don't know which one.

The problem is likely the dealer
Ridenow, that's his problem! Please encourage him to call Sierra Cycles at 520 459 2589 and ask for David Levitt. They are an independent family-owned dealership that knows what customer service is! Feel free to mention my name (Rob Owen) and perhaps your friend can get a 2nd opinion from David Levitt.

for all those going to Canada this year for that big event ask the big shots up there at the factory why all this is happening and ask them to train there reps more thoroughly I mean this would be the right time to bring up all these mishaps that have been posted here on s/l..j,m.o. I'm sure we all would like to hear what they got to say about all these dumb answers they have given us to our replys when we cry out for help because the dealers are too dumb to call and talk to the right personnel.
