If you have your VIN number, the above mentioned website will tell you if your 2020 RT is involved. If nothing comes back, call 888-272-9222. They'll be able to clarify.

I did both and mine is unaffected.

I need mine modified.
I've already called, just waiting for the part.

Thanks.

My VIN is not affected. (Apparently, and for now.)

I just got a call from my dealer, my name was on his list to call. waiting on parts to come in next week.

My VIN# isn't showing anything due on the website, so I called BRP. The customer service representative says I should take my spyder to the dealer for a visual inspection. So I called the dealer, and he looked up my spyder and said, Yes, you are affected. Parts are now on order.

Same here, they of course have to order parts. Probably back ordered as well.

The recall bulletin does say

Which models are involved?

Specific serial numbers of model year 2020 Can-Am Spyder RT.

but based on the comments above it is hit or miss when checking your VIN. With BRP being closed down maybe they don't have the list of VINs owners can access updated. They probably focused on the dealer site info first.

I just put in my VIN and I’m not part of the recall. I bought my 2020 about a month ago.

So far the only item not working as it should is my outside temperature sensor, it consistently reads 5-10 degrees above the actual temperature. I can live with this one until I take the bike in for the 3000 mile service.

I put in my vin# and nothing came back so I guess mine is okay, but I think I will call my dealer to
be on the safe side.

I bet it will always read at least 5 to 10 above just due to mounting location

That's normal, it has been like that since the very first Spyder.

The sensor is mounted low on the engine intake to monitor the air temp for the fuel injection system (ECU).

The display is only for show.

I posted above that my on line VIN checked showed I was not affected. However, after reading Mr. Bling's statement I decided to call the dealer to verify. Yes, my bike is covered in the recall. So, I would suggest everyone call their dealer in an abundance of caution, since it appears the website is not up to snuff.

This is currently a Safety Bulletin so I would not expect anyone will have their VIN cone up in the mentioned site which is for recalls. Everyone with a 2020 should contact their dealer to find out for sure.

I hate to be contradictory, but BRP is calling is a "Safety Recall", not a bulletin.

Check your VIN now. The VIN lookup box on the page linked to in the first post has this note on it:

*Results last updated: Sun, 05 Apr 2020 00:00:00

When I put the VIN in, my vehicle comes up in the lower box but does not say whether or not it is part of the recall. Just gives a vehicle description. Does it give a message when yours is under the recall? It does have the letters DM/D behind it. What does that mean?

2020 CAN-AM
RD SPYDER RT LTD 1330 ACE SE6 DM/D

The printed notice that I saw said bulletin. But my point is that don’t rely on the VIN lookup at this time, everyone should contact their dealer for a definitive answer.

 

[Jetfixer]

Does anyone know exactly what parts are affected?
