Damn crazy man! I just put the bike away for the winter. Cold here y'all. Guess I'll look into now so I can ride in the spring.
Live, Love, and Ride! God Bless!

Hi all,
There was indeed a proactive warranty campaign released on January 12th regarding chassis reinforcement on the F3 and F3 S, to halt or prevent a crack around the welding of the rear shock absorber upper bracket. The reinforcement kit will ensure full long-term structural reliability of the frame section. It's important to note that in the unlikely event any further crack or deformation should appear in the same area addressed by this warranty bulletin, BRP will cover this frame repair under a lifetime warranty.
Also note that this is not a safety recall. You should still get this bulletin performed to avoid any preventable damages. General dynamic behavior and handling capability are not affected.

Here We Go
Showed up at my dealer today with several warranty issues. Bad key and faulty gas cap both of which had been reported and parts ordered. Also noted on the work order was crooked handle bars and foot fairings were cracked. While I was setting in the customers lounge I got a Facebook post that the F3 frames were fracturing at the top shock mount and the date of the bulletin was 12 January 2016. I walked back to the service area and told the service writer to look up the service notice added to my list. The road mobile is really except the reinforcement piece is on order. I've said all along the F3S rear shock was weak and can't handle large folks like me 6"2' 228 lbs. I understand the 2016 has a different rear shock. I'm looking for a change soon.

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.

Recall
I stopped by my dealer yesterday and had them go ahead and open a ticket to order the new part. I didn't want to get caught in the crush at the start of riding season. As soon as the part comes in I'll get a call.

My dealer's calling me when the parts are in stock. Spoke to their chief tech about it and this is a recall for ALL 2015 F3s.
Nice that the guys at BRP are giving a lifetime warranty on the repair. I'll see if I can work in the improved shock at the same time.

I was due to pick up my new F3S Steel today but when I informed the Dealer here in Western Sydney of the warranty campaign I'd seen on our forum the Business Manager confirmed they were currently halting all new Spyder deliveries due to same. Parts were at least ordered by them last Wed/Thurs so shouldn't be more than an extra day or two they are telling me.

That's because it is not a recall. It is warranty campaign. Safety recalls are for items that may cause injury or death. This problem does not.

Thanks for clarification.
It is greatly appreciated. Some people just dont know. That is the one of the reasons for a forum.

Thanks for the information. My local dealer was unaware and it took him 10 minutes to verify the information. I might have never known except for this forum.

Had the new bracket installed today. For anyone who has run wires through the frame holes from the seat area to the rear you will need to reroute them. The reinforcing bracket covers the holes.
