at least they did a do not sell on the bikes not a keep selling and we will try and fix later

 

[bluestratos]

I agree, BRP is not proactive. Some of the problems that are common with the bikes could result in serious consequences but no recalls have been issued.

Yup! It sucks; but they're taking the bull by the horns, and facing the situation... :2thumbs:

Once the recall was issued there was a no delivery order issued by BRP also. HD did nothing different than BRP in that regard.

In my observation, some us are part of the problem with BRP. IE 2013 heat problems, we help our member affected for solicite need and adviced DIY instead tell them to take their :spyder2: back to the dealer. our intentions are good but not really.

ann what recall are you talking about because i gt my bike after the ball joint recall was issued but i am not sure the heat recall was done in canada yet at that time

Good to see that HD is taking a pro active position on the new 2014 year models. The magazines had articles about the new innovations (partially water cooled engines) and were talking them up pretty good.

It is possible that HD learned a lesson from what happend here.

We will have to see how the 2014 models work out with our favorite company. I am hoping for the best here. :thumbup:

As I said, on the other thread. I do not think I have ever seen a "Do not ride warning" like that.

John, I believe that the ball joints were a service campaign which is not a recall. I'm not sure what you mean about the "heat" recall and Canada. BRP issued the recall for the melting master cylinder in Canada first and then approx. 10 days later they issued the recall in the US. The dealers were not allowed to deliver any 2013 until the recall was completed. Remember that service campaigns are not the same as a recall.

Canada was first..!!

BRP tried to recall here but were held up due to our recall system. The additional work involved was the delay. So Canada had theirs done much quicker..so I was told...:gaah:

 

[jcthorne]

In BRP's defense, the US do not sell order was given to dealers when the Canada recall was issued. They did not wait for the US recall to initiate the do not sell order. I was caught in it first hand.

There has only been one recall on your Spyder and that was issued for the chance of fire due to leaking brake fluid.
