Don't spend any more/too much time chasing this yourself, it's a warranty item. There are quite a few having issues with these latches, especially in the 2020+ models. Get it sorted properly!

Thx, I’ll do that.

Get a flashlight. Lie down so your head is under the front of the saddlebag. See the cable adjuster. Hold the one end and unscrew the other one full turn. Try the latch. If still sticking, one more turn. The right side is harder to get to, as the muffler is in the way. The cable adjuster has a knurled stopnut. Loosen that, first. After the adjustment, tighten the stopnut. Cables stretch. Pretty easy fix.

I've adjusted both sides. Works for awhile! Poor design. Almost as bad as BRP Connect.

Thank you soooooo much!! We called Can Am and they were clueless about walking us through any kind of self help...

BRP Care probably won't help with any 'self help' but they should be able to help you get a case started to get it sorted by your dealer as a warranty item - THAT's the sorta stuff they do, usually pretty well too!

The left saddlebag on my 2020 RTL will not pop open as it should when I pull the lever. If I put inward pressure on the saddlebag while pulling the lever, it will open. Is there some kind of adjustment I can make to fix this?

As many have stated, yes there is an adjuster for the cable. The real problem may be that the cable is corroded. It doesn't look like it comes from the factory with any lubrication. I have taken one apart and cleaned the cable and lubricated it. It is worth the time and effort as a new latch costs a whole lot more than a new cable. Here is a Youtube video that I watched before doing this.
