    If the new cap aggravated or caused a gas fume problem, you have other issues. I expect those would be with the emissions system or the fuel pump/vent assembly. See your dealer. People need to start reporting these issues, so BRP will take notice and find what is happening. Don't take "No" or "Normal" for answers.

    Default new cap stinks

    I got my new gas cap today and now I have gas smell, I'm glad I didn't throw away my old one, if smell doesn't stop I am putting old one back on, it didn't have that problem

    Update!! have ran through couple tanks of gas and no problem with gas smell, must have been a fluke that first day or maybe I had a small over flow and did not know it, guess the new cap stays on thanks BRP.

    Got mine Friday. I always thought mine wasn't closing tight enough. The clicker never had enough resistance. This new cap makes me feel better after I fill up.

    Got both of mine too. They came within 2 days of each other. Have not put them on yet, and after reading some of the posts here I may not bother. no problems with either machine, so I may leave well enough alone.

    Default Recall Fuel Cap obtained in UK - Safety Recall Notice in Post Today

    Posted in an earlier thread I have now got my New fuel Cap :-

    Received a letter in the post today from BRP European Distribution Ltd

    It was the Safety Recall Notice

    It confirms we are to get the New Fuel Cap (Free of Charge)
    and to contact an authorised BRP Can-Am dealer to advise them you need a new and improved Fuel Cap

    Or To make an appointment to have your fuel cap replaced
    it will take less than 10mins and again (at no charge to us)

    It's pleasing to think BRP have taken our concerns seriously and are contacting owners at last
    even though I have already got mine

    Maybe things with BRP Europe are looking up
    Still need to keep the pressure on though

    Default no evap can

    Got my replacement gas cap last week. I removed my evap can years ago because of the reports of fires and gas odors reported by owners of 08 and 09 spyders.
