• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2013 RT Elevated Temperature in Engine Compartment - Safety Campaign

Thats the bad part until this I have had high praise for my dealer. They have always done everything on time and in an orderly fashion. They were there to answer questions about any service or farkles I had installed or done, Always gave me a good deal on ordering parts(usually cheaper than I could get anywhere else.). I have spent a lot of money with them and been a satified customer and this just feels like I'm being treated like a 2nd class citizen that they don't know.

Hi arsquatch,

Regarding the body panel portion of the campaign, you can expect to see something like this:

Ok is BRP
going to refund the money I spent on the adjustable reflectors I bought?
 
I believe that issue has been discussed. :thumbup:
Unfortunately; I don't remember what the answer was! :banghead:

"The memory is the second thing to go; I forgot what the first one was!" :shocked:

BRPCares stated to take your receipt with you to the dealer when the recall was done and have them submit it for credit. This applied to other engine bay heat reduction work that was already done as well.
 
I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly for you! :thumbup:


Interesting ... not 15 minutes after my post here and less than 24 hours later after dropping by the dealer
I got a follow up call from BRP.....just a few minutes ago... I was out.. but.....I bet they are watching everything closer than you think..lol

Just saying.....

I called CFPS YESTERDAY, they do not have the parts yet. They said to call next week to check. Not sure if anyone else has the parts in the area. [emoji91]


I'm not sure that it is an "en mass" order. I think (could be wrong) that it is when the customer comes in and wants to take advantage of the recall that the parts are ordered. They come out of Georgia. My dealership, Seminole Power Sports in Sanford, will have mine this coming week. (June 3rd).

Hope this helps.

Several people local to me have called their dealer and the dealer looked it up and ordered the parts and the tool needed. They did not have to bring their Spyder in. If a dealer is telling you otherwise argue with them as the letter that was posted here does not say that.
In fact you should print it and show them it if they won't budge. We also had a few locals call different dealers and get that answer "We have not got the parts yet". I have told them, per the letter, if the dealer is waiting for parts to automatically show up, you will be waiting a long time! They called their dealer back and told them this and the dealer then did the right thing and ordered the kits and tool.

Agreed.

I think you are right. BRP has a lot riding on this actually working.
 
i really hope it works for all the 13 rt owners, but after all the work i did with scoops, upper and lower, and cutting out the back plastic by your feet so the heat from the radiator can go into the engine bay, i still felt the heat on my right foot. good luck people
 
On our RTs we completely fixed the right foot heat problem by directing ALL radiator exhaust down at the road rather than back toward my foot. Used a 2014 right grille and plastic cloth to cover the back side of the upper grille. Opened the duct work to blow the air down. Lower panels were removed a long time ago.

It will be interesting to see how this is dealt with as part of the recall.....
 
Did I understand BRP , that the trikes will be brough back to stock , then do the recall? does this mean cat- delete pipe wraps etc, work will be returned to stock?:dontknow:

i didn't see brp say that, but the fix is most likely done for a stock bike with no changes

BRPCares was intentionally vague on the subject. I will relate what actually happens next week when Louise RT goes in for the recall. It has most everything you mention already done. Looking at the instructions to the dealer service tech, my guess is that most of what has already been done will not effect the items in the recall and in fact make it easier to perform, saving the dealer hours.
 
I have cat cat bypass and thermal wrapped headers, I do not plan to let my dealer remove the wrap or re-install the cat converter. These two mods have helped allot with the heat issue under and around seat and glove box. My only concern is the re-map of the fuel system impacting these mods.

My my dealer has the recall kit order order. Hope to get the recall mods done next week.

The Best of Luck to you; please let us know how (If at all), the modifications that you made; end up affecting the process. :thumbup:

I have done both of these mods as well. You should NOT have to re-install them. I agree that both of these mods together have mad a huge difference in the amount of heat coming up around the seat, as well as the heat on the fuel tank. Whatever ECM changes are part of this campaign should be compatible with both of these changes. They have had no effect on the ECM thus far, as you know. To the best of my knowledge, the only exhaust sensors that the ECM monitors are the oxygen probes up at the front of the headers near cylinders. Since nothing in the exhaust system is monitored aft of that point the ECM should be oblivious to both wrapped headers and the cat bypass.

I think that those of us who have already wrapped the headers and removed the cat, should have the best of both worlds after the fix is done. The Spyder should exhibit even less heat than those without the mods, PLUS, as has been stated earlier in this thread, BRP may even reimburse us something, through a dealer credit, for the previous work.
