2013 RT Elevated Temperature in Engine Compartment - Safety Campaign

[ericauz]

Hi Commander,

The entire update should take approximately 4 hours to complete from start to finish.

My dealer said that they do not have the parts, because BRP did not send them the parts. Shouldn't the dealers and BRP be in better communication? The dealer said to call back in mid June. Do the dealers have to request the parts before BRP sends them out? The dealer didn't seem to be very informed about the recall.

See post #20. The dealer has to request the parts.

Driving to dealer now ... ETA 15 min... to schedule.

The air induction panels on my 13 ST made all the difference in the world on my bike so I'm sure this will fix your RT's too!!!

 

[barryj]

Just to be sure.

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.

Was this remedy for Campaign 13v386000 Service Brakes (master cylinder)

Steve can you give more information in layman's terms what reworking the vehicle's fuel system means?

I could see that this scoop might even help the earlier years that have heat issues as well. A fix that looks good, Well Done!

Thanks, BRP, I know many people have been waiting for this.

+100 Steve!

Hoping BRP will eventually make these as orderable parts. Problem might be matching the paint of older models.

i basically did the same thing and sorry to say i don't really think it helped. sorry to be the downer on this but i say it like i see it. the heat coming out on my feet was still too much for me to handle so i sold the bike. now let me say that the heat doesn't bother the new owner as much as it did me. i do hope the multiple updates Steve talks about helps also.

This appears to be where the adjustable air vents are mounted! Is BRP going to refund the money I paid for them? It a pears that I can no longer use them.
I am glad they came up with a solution, so I was wondering what I will do with these vents I invested in?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am going to go out on a limb here about the scoops as I have had my Spyder apart many times and looked at this area for a DIY.

The stock openings these vents feed is paneled off inside to the full internal engine area (they seem to be there to let heat from the radiator go up and out when your not moving).

My bet is just adding the scoops is not all they are doing. I think there is also going to be panel mods inside to direct the air from these scoops the back of the engine area.

Steve, care to elaborate? We are curious

Yes it looks like you will be losing the adjustable vents! Time for a aftermarket setup I think

Or figure out a way to mount the ones you have. Probably would not be hard.

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.

:agree: Post them in hers... Somebody will find a good use for them! :thumbup:

like i said, i hope it does work for the others having it done. i also did the bottom air vents but i still had hot air from the radiator blowing on my feet. i would of bet my bottom dollar that BRP would of tried to put a reversing fan motor on the radiator like the 14's, because that really worked wonders .

That's pretty darn cool right there BRP!

Someone on Facebook said they were a "tester" for this fix and in fact that they added the reverse fan.

Now realize one person saying this doesn't mean anything (it's the internet ) and even as a tester, that does not mean this was the final setup chosen by BRP.

here is the bottom vent i put on the bike

Hey Gang,

Before we start down the rabbit hole of bad things, let's remember that Steve posted that the fix included, but not limited to reworking fuel components and body panels. So I am going to assume they maybe including the reverse fan that is discussed along with a few other components here and there. They did say this was a pretty big fix. So Steve can you elaborate more on exactly all of the components for this recall and break it all down for us?

Thanks
