How did Corvairs get drug into this? I have owned Corvairs for 45+ years and never heard of any designed in flaws that caused them to catch on fire. I'm sure some have caught on fire because of poor maintenance, but not from some designed in flaw.
My point is that it can be investigated. I we shouldn't be surprised what these engineers and investigators could find.

I hope that you realize where the first link takes you...
...to a FORUM!
If I were to base my opinion on what I've seen in here; I'd have been sure that the Spyder would not only burn down; it'd blow up,give me bad breath, vandalize the house, steal my checkbook, sleep with my Missus, and get me kicked out of the Masons! :shocked:
Jerbein thr, I googled "Corvette fires" and got the same kind of horror stories.

As we get closer to the end of the summer, BRP will likely sweeten the rebate deal for 2013's even more, if there are still many left."
As the new year approaches and the 2015 get released. What are we looking at for trade in's on our 13 rts? Half of what we paid for. Mine will be a year old in September with less than 4,000 miles on it. Yes I got the rebate and extended my warranty to 5 years. I put a good amount down the keep the payments down.
We love our Spyder don't penalized us because there could be a fire or there is a heat issue?
If it wasn't for this forum I would not have known about the spyder fires or that there is a heat issue. All I ask is someone needs to try and fix this or let me fix this. Don't threaten me with "you'll loose your warranty if you do that".
I love the Monday/Friday Build thing. Just how do find what day your spyder was built?
Just a little trivia. The man who started the 5 day work week because he found that his production was floundering with to many hours of working was. Henry Ford. So for those of you who don't work retail and have the weekends off. Thank Mr. Ford. Oh! What day is it again? lol
Didn't mean to offend you. Just stating facts as I remember them from back in the 60's.
I also had a corvair. Always felt the problems reported were fabricated. Other than not handling well, zero problems. During the same time period it seemed at least once a month there was news coverage of a VW bus burning up. (Late 60s-early 70s)Sorry, didn't mean to come across as being offended. Through the years I have heard all the stories about what's wrong about my Corvair and I'm sure I will be hearing more. Now that I have a 2013 Spyder I'll get to hear even more stories, oh well I like both of these vehicles and haven't experienced any of the problems others have had.....So far.
But what if they were closed on a Monday, and you found a Tuesday buid-date? :shocked:![]()
But what effort and funds will BRP put into the investigations? Will they or did they actually hire engineers and fire investigators? BRP has the remains of my Spyder, not my insurance company.
