Hi Larry rt,
If you're referring to the BRP Fixed upper wind deflector or BRP Adjustable side wind deflector, you will be credited for the current retail price of these items after they are removed and the recall has been performed on your Spyder. Your dealer will manage reimbursements for these items for use as credit for parts, accessories or maintenance services.

Thank you Steve for this , are there going to be a new style that will get some air to pilot & passenger , or means to make the adjustable attach to panels, in Tn.these are very importent .:yes:

Hi barryj,

Required parts for the campaign are currently available and will be shipped to dealers upon request. Get in touch with your dealer to set an appointment.

Are the scoops part of the new panel or just an add on to the existing panel? Also will these scoops come painted to match existing color? Would be nice if panel was all one piece rather than an add on.

Have the call in to my dealer, and am looking forward to the work being completed hyea: . . . I have lots of trips on the calendar for this season. nojoke

Thanks for sharing this, Steve . . . :firstplace:

Hi finless,
While for obvious reasons we can't post that publicly, dealers will obviously share with customers specifically what is being done when the recall update is performed on their vehicle.

Thanks Steve! But not sure what the obvious reasons are?

No Info from dealer

Just spoke to my dealer. Nothing in BOSSweb that came up for my VIN. 2013 RT-S. Hmmm

How much temp drop

Steve,
can you provide how much temperature drop your team measured on you test vehicle(s)?
Does BRP have enough parts to all the RTs affected?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

The Safety Campaign for the 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT is now underway. If you are the owner of a 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT, regardless of country of operation, then it is subject to the safety recall.

The repair consists of a combination of multiple updates, including but not limited to a reworking of the vehicle's fuel system as well as improved, modified body panels.

BRP has requested that your dealer contact you, and we have also sent a letter to all known registered owners. However, we ask that you do not wait and call your dealer to schedule an appointment for this procedure.

In the meantime, you can keep using your Can-Am Spyder RT while taking the following precautions in hot riding conditions (ambient temperature of approximately 30 C/85 F and more):

• Avoid idling or slow traffic riding for a long period of time.
• Avoid parking in an enclosed area immediately after your ride; let your vehicle cool down first.
• Avoid prolonged direct contact with body panels; wear appropriate riding gear as stated in the Operator’s Guide.

For any other questions related to this campaign, please post them here.

I would like this look on my 2014 RT-S

I would prefer this to the funky clear wind deflectors, even though I dont need it on my '14.

Can you say FARKLE??

...Get the chrome ones! :2thumbs:

Your dealer will manage reimbursements for these items for use as credit for parts, accessories or maintenance services.

I have already spent the money to add the Vertika vents to my RTS SE5. It does keep the Spyder cooler while riding at highway speeds, but does nothing for slow speed in hot weather. What else is being done to address the issue, such as a reversing fan? Are the vents going to be painted to match the Spyder's color?

Glad to see the party is up and running, and before the time that a few predicted. :bowdown::bowdown:

A lot of logistics involved, and it seems that the public will have its part in educating some of the dealers to make the project run smooth.

Thank you for fielding several questions that were asked by specific owners concerning the recall.

They are a standard upgrade from BRP. They are the adjustable vents. You can get them in a clearish plastic or Chrome.
