2014 RT recall

[PMK]

Very nice to hear the number of affected units is small. Obviously none would be better.

On the opposite side, is there any means in place to ensure the dealers are accomplishing verification of each vehicle sold?


While goofing around today, I came across a fuel cap recall. This was not sent to me, just found on the internet. Unfortunately, it is so vague, there is no details by year or vin or some other means to know if this may or may not apply to our machine.

Just checked mine and it has spark on one side and 2036 on the other! I also checked the holders that the extra key fits in and the words Spark appears on both sides of each holder!

I also have 2036 - got an email from my dealer and said mine was on the list to replace the ignition..... parts are ordered.

[Papa]

Yep, mine also. No parts available. I was told two weeks to get the parts.

Guys, I don't think its all that great of an idea to post up the key code. You might want to edit it out......

Thanks for the clarification of models affected. I just checked models and did not pay close attention to the date.

I did give our locks a shot of tumbler type oil many weeks ago and they did operate much smoother. Might be time to have the dealer check since I have not heard from them.

Thanks

Why not?? It's not as if those switches are gonna work anyway!

[dtkennney]

If you are on the recall is it safe to take a week long trip before it gets replaced.

That's the key code isn't it? What switches?

my local dealer had no clue what I was talking about.

Called BRP and I am NOT part of the recall.

[Oklahoma Spyder]

Thanks. I almost thru the tab away.

Dealer did not warn me so I did throw mine away.

While I can't post the actual warranty bulletin (it's not a recall), I can tell you that a very small number of Spyders are affected by it.

This is an example of when it's really better to confirm with your dealer if you're unsure (they will be contacting the folks who have affected vehicles beforehand anyways) as they have the actual bulletin and can quickly verify your key code against it.

what is it? if you can't post it, where can we find it? what does it effect?

I have the list in front of me and the numbers run from 1658 thru 2252 with several big gaps in the numbers, listed below, and lot of single ones, too many for me to list. Heres the major gaps:
1678-1749, 1937-2008, 2061-2162.

[lookerjdc]

so at #1026, this is not something I need to be concerned with?

Thank you sir, again you have made my evening. Called the dealer we purchased from at 9 this morning. Was promised a return call by the end of the day. You nailed it, they did not.

So to be clear, the affected range is from 1658 to 2252. With some sequences in this range that are not affected.

Thanks

Those numbers are the key code. However the security system on the Spyder is designed so that you can have a key cut to fit a byke, but if the transponder chip is not set up with the system using BUDS, the key will not start the byke. You would be able to open the luggage though.

Please; Ulflyer did the heavy lifting for this information ; I just brought it over to this thread...

So with a key code to make a key, BRP diagnostics software, and about 2 minutes with the spyder , your set!....nice.

Still not that easy. If you don't have an original. programmed key to insert, BUDS cannot make another without staring from scratch with all new keys and a new DESS module. Very expensive, and the key code is of no value. Having someone's key code would only allow another person to have a key cut and gain access to the luggage (or trailer). You can get that with a crowbar if you really want to get inside. Key codes are pretty useless. Many shops cannot even cut a new one from the code...only from another key.

First thing is that this is not a Recall but a service bulletin. It would not stop me from going on a month long trip.

My husband and I were out of town this past weekend and the same thing happened to his 2014 RT SM6. After having it at the dealership today, he was told there was a recall on some of the 2014 models, but the service manager didn't go into any detail. He only said my husband's bike was one affected. He has only had this bike for a couple of weeks. Our questions is, if the dealership knew about the "recall" (their words) why was the bike sold without the necessary repair work done? We were three and one half hours from home, and it was a major inconvenience for us. But thanks to Lamont and our good friend, Brian we got the bike towed to the dealership.

The service manager stated the recall is due to faulty ignition switches.
