Rather than tagging this at the end of the other long discussion about the recall I decided to start a new thread.

This is what comes up when I put my VIN number into the NHTSA search box.

I think we can read into this the fix will be staged around the country over time. How fast is an unknown. Where will they start? Possibly in the hotter parts of the country but who knows at this point?

​Just received my registered letter from the dealer I bought the 2013 RT-S from. Same letter as from BRP. I hope a follow up with VIN number is done as I traded it in to another dealer in October. I have no idea who owns it now.

With all the heat issues on the ST, I'm surprised they aren't even mentioned in this Recall. Did I miss something?

If the dealer you traded it to didn't sell it until a month or two ago BRP's system may not have the new owner in their records yet. That's assuming the dealer processed the change of ownership papers pronto. I think it was something like 3 to 5 months after the dealer processed the change of ownership for my Spyder before I got the BEST update back from BRP. And this was in spite of the fact the dealer did the change of owner online right into the BRP system!
