F3 Recall - Chassis reinforcement

**Darren111** · 01-13-2016, 04:44 PM

Just heard news about F3 Warranty Campaign. Chassis reinforcement is needed due to reports of some F3 chassis breaking.
Going to ring my dealer in morning to get some more clarification on issue. Apparently all F3 models are affected.
Would be great to hear from others on this issue.

it's not april 1st, so this isn't an april fools joke, right??

I haven't heard about the chassis recall. I just plugged in both my VIN and my husband's VIN into the safety recall VIN lookup page on BRP's website. Neither VIN was flagged as having a recall.

More info please

Installing a bracket under the seat needs to be done to rectify problem. Weld at rear shock mount cracking on some F3s. Info gathered is from FB, no info is released on Can-Am site, here is hoping this isn't a wind up.

I agree. When I logged onto SL tonight, I expected to see a post about this recall and was shocked to see no post about it. Now I have started a post here's hoping we get to the bottom of this recall issue.

Check to see if your F3 is on the list. Pretty easy fix. Share with your F3 friends.
EDIT= This bulletin is intended for ALL 2015 F3 models.

Called my dealer today, both our F3's are on the list. Dealer is going to order parts and call when in.

....My question is, aren't the F-3 and RT frames essentially the same ?????????.......... Mike

**Bob Denman** · 01-13-2016, 06:44 PM

Darren,
Good catch!

Thanks for alerting everybody...

Mike,
No; the frames aren't "essentially" the same...
The RT frames have more metal in this area because they carry the fuel tank down in the "Belly of The Beast".
