    Default Coolant expansion Tank leak

    The expansion tank on our 2016 F3 Limited has developed a leak in the seam. I just got off the phone with a very confused parts guy from Ride Now Powersports that is trying to tell me that Can Am is not supporting that, they can't even order it. Has anyone had this problem and if so where did you find a replacement tank?

    Thanks..

    You can also seal it up with a tube of JB Weld. They make numerous types suitable for that. Use some on a Slingshot tank once. Worked fine.

    Yes, I had a 2016 RT Limited that had the same leak. I called Cheap motorcycle parts and order a new coolant jug and replaced it myself ! BRP didn't seem to want to fix it! Mine would leak when it got the coolant hot and it expanded. When I stopped, it would leak at the top seam! Shame on BRP for not supporting their products, which gives them a bad name! At a time when Harley is on the decrease losing 8-10 percent of their business per year, it would be a great time for BRP to step up on their quality and take advantage of this time to increase sales! Wake up up BRP!!!
