When I ordered my 2011 Spyder RT SE5 in April I also ordered the RT-622 matching trailer. After about a 6 week wait my trailer arrived. When I hooked it up to the Spyder I did a light check to insure that the electrical on the trailer worked properly. When I tried the blinkers and brake lights they worked fine; when I tried the backup lights, they did not operate. When I checked the trailer for a problem I saw that there were no bulbs or sockets where backup lights would normally go. There were just aluminum like covers that could be clearly seen through the clear plastic lens per the attached photos.
I reported the problem to the dealer and they initially agreed there was a problem and forwarded my photos to BRP. At the time, according to the dealership BRP agreed there was a problem. When the dealer came to pickup the trailer and the bike (there was belt problem...screeching sound), they told me that BRP said the lights were correct and that the 2011 trailer lights were redesigned to match those of the 2011 RT. This was a change fm the 2010 trailer they said. This strikes me as a bit odd, and I could be wrong, but why would they create a new light design w/ clear lenses and install an aluminum plug instead of 4 sockets and 4 lights?
Does this make sense or do I need to speak to the dealer?
thx...
