2014 ST Limited ... Brake lights stay on when turning key off

[MurrayBrown]

2014 ST Limited. Brake lights stay on after turning the key off. Concern is that the brake lights stay on while driving, providing incorrect visual information to drivers (cars and/or bikes) behind me.


Internet research indicates that there is a BRP Service Bulletin for this malfunctioning brake light SWITCH. Does anybody have a website link for that Service Bulletin?


Spyder is still covered under Warranty, but in case there is obstinance from the Dealer, having a copy of the Service Bulletin would be handy.

Any/all assistance would be appreciated.

next time it happens, lift up the brake peddle and see if they go out. if they do, then it is sticking

That is what I have been doing. But there is a Service Bulletin out there .... I saw something about it on this Forum. Unfortunately, at the time, folks didn't/couldn't remember what the web site address was.

Your dealer can pull up the bulletin on the Boss system.

Gotta say...

Must not be constant or you would be getting brake failure warnings and going into limp mode. Good advise above to go to the dealer and have them check it out and if need be replace the switch...:gaah:

VIN Lookup - USA only

https://can-am.brp.com/spyder/owner...ebar_rig_content-col1-span6_news_list_start=9

Thanks, but the VIN lookup is only for USA owners. All others have to contact BRP by e-mail. Sigh ..... :sour:

1. The VIN Lookup is only for SAFETY items, not Service Bulletins.
2. Only for USA owners ... sad ... the machines are built in Canada. ... double sigh ....

Dont rely on just one dealer:lecturef_smilie: Call around & one should have the information somewhere
And fyi I've heard my dealer use the term "campaign" more than "bulletin" for issues like this, it may help the service managers remember more:dontknow: :dontknow::roflblack::roflblack::shocked: Give it a try & Good luck

Thanks. Appreciated. However, there is only one dealer here in Manitoba.
The next closest is in Regina, Saskatchewan and Thunder Bay, Ontario. The trip to Regina is 6 hours; the trip to Thunder Bay is 10 hours.
