• 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.

2020 Spyder RT - NHTSA Official Recall Notice and BRP Warranty Bulletin

I'm glad that this fix is in the works, but I don't see anything that says DO NOT RIDE.
I'm just wondering, all these people that BRP sent off on these PR campaign Road Trips.
How did they manage to put all the miles on their 2020 Spyders safely ?
 
The notice does indeed contain a 'Do not sell' order and a mandatory notification of each customer of sold units by the dealer.

In layman's terms, it says do not sell them as they are not safe. Tell your customers they are not safe but its up to each customer to get in for the recall.

The Do Not Sell order is what is considered notification of a defect serious enough to require the bikes off the road. If the demos were not shut down for COVID, they would be until the recall was done on the affected units. This is the same category of recall notification that was sent for the 2013RTs that were burning to the ground.
 
Ok, so I had 2 of my friends take delivery this past Saturday. Do you think the recall was taken care of, or will they need to take it in for the recall. I am only asking because our 2 local dealers are not the best at staying on top of things.

You would need to check the vin number and build date. If they are included then no, they have not been repaired as the kits have not been sent yet. They may not be affected units.
 
Interesting read through the ancillary documents. TL;DR: It covers about 1400 bikes manufactured between September 2019 and February 2020. The defective part may have "shrinking cavities" and was manufactured by a company in Vietnam. BRP found it when 4 of the support brackets broke on the factory floor. No reports from the field.
 
No mystery. It's called outsourcing to the lowest bidder and lack of quality control at the vendor. Dealt with it for 20 years. Parts kept getting worse and management kept lowering the standards that were supposed to be met. Had enough and retired.
 
You have to jack it up & get underneath, it is on the inside up & in right side of the converter the recall pictures make you think the pictures are from the right side of the bike (at least I did) but they are from the left with the converter removed.
 
My dealer ordered it and it came in a week later. They told me it would take an hour to install. I had metal valve stems installed for the Fobo TPMS, so I left the bike over night.
 
My dealer in Eustis FL taking care of my problem Thursday, 4/16, plus install my short reach bars, those folks are so easy to work with, hard to believe. I've experienced a lot of dealers in my time.
