With all of the issues with getting 2022's into peoples hands I would say this is the first in many more to come for the 22's.

Edit: Just noticed this is from the Australian Owner Zone so it might apply only to F3's sold in Australia.

Well, I guess I wasn't the only one! My left mirror mysteriously fell off on my garage last September and I started a thread about it: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...-left-mirror-fell-off-overnight-in-the-garage

The dealer had a replacement part a couple of months ago but I had already put the Sypder in storage. I'm guessing that part is probably not acceptable. I'll bet that BRP fixed an issue. My guess was that they didn't shoot the plastic mold properly and had some brittle plastic.

I sure hope my '22 doesn't have any serious problems. I can live with a bad mirror. So far the other hasn't fallen off. The recall states that they will replace both sides. I received the letter today.

Have any 2022 owners had their mirrors replaced yet? I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive at my dealer.

When you say F3, do you mean F3-T and F3-L? I have a 2022 F3L ... are my mirrors "shaky"? to maybe fall off while riding?

I'm still waiting for my 2022 F3-S to be built. The dealer did say it had a mirror recall they had to do on it. They supposedly had the parts. Hope to pick it up on Tuesday.
Have there been problems with the 2022 models? Hope not.

From the linked Recall notice:

.....
Which models are involved?

2022 Can-Am® Spyder F3 and F3-S vehicles
.....

So as far as BRP are concerned, you're in the clear. :thumbup:

Let's just hope that owners/operators of the L & T Spec F3's agree!

 

[JonShadow]

I had my 2022 F3-S mirrors replaced at the dealer a couple of weeks ago. So far they're still attached to the assemblies.

Well, my left mirror fell off again. It was replaced, along with the right mirror, last year according to the recall. I'm going to call my dealer up again. It suffered the same problem. The mounting post sheared off. I'm guessing the plastic was not properly shot again.

Looks like the recall was updated for the 2023 MY: https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/au/e...s-lenses-may-dislodge-reduced-visibility.html

Hi JonShadow,

I know that the recall is for the 2023 F3 and the F3 S models, I was wondering if any of the 2023 LTD Special Series models will have any recalls on the mirrors?

I'm not Jon, but it looks very much like this newly expanded recall is ONLY for the lower spec F3's with the 'outrigger' style mirrors, as they are the only models that are reported as having problems with their mirrors falling off at this stage.

The F3-T's, Ltd's, & Ltd Special Series all have 'Integrated Mirrors' that are a component part of the different 'dash & headlight binnacle' that carries the windscreen, so their mirrors are of a completely different style; most likely come off a different manufacturing production line if not from a different supplier; and (at least so far ) haven't had any of the same issues!

So it looks like your F3 Ltd Special Series is good, Deanna! :thumbup:

HI Pete,

Thanks for answering my question. I was wondering.

I took the Spyder over to my dealer yesterday to have them look at the mirror. They had a replacement on hand and did the swap while I waited. I was super happy that they were able to do that. We'll see if this replacement holds up. They only swapped the left assembly, which was the broken one. The right mirror assembly was changed last year as part of the initial recall. I'm guessing that mirror could fail, too.

Lower Spec? :lecturef_smilie: I would argue that the F3 and F3S are not a lower spec, rather a different purposed Spyder! :dontknow: With the same engine, transmission and 90% of the same "other stuff" I would say they are the more sporty version with less weight, better handling for more spirited riding. Fewer features is not always "less". But this is not why I came here to post. lol

I'll only add that the dealer just replaced my mirrors this past weekend under the recall warranty. I don't know what exactly was failing, a plastic part? A metal part? Just the Mirror glass? But in my case, I got two complete mirrors assemblies.

:cheers:

The affected part is the part of the mirror that moves within the housing. The whole stalk will rotate back and forth on a pivot point on the body of the trike, but that's not the failure point. It's just the mirror glass itself. It's only held on by a single plastic post in the center of the mirror. That post breaks easily on the affected (bad) parts. I have had 2 left mirrors break off the assembly so far. The rubber stripping along the back of the mirror glass held the last mirror on long enough for me to catch it before it fell. I'm waiting to see if my right mirror fails now, as they didn't replace that one yet.

My dealer did fill out the paperwork and reported it to BRP as a warranty issue. Hopefully, that's a data point for BRP to consider. The replacement part I originally received last year predated the second recall that happened in 2023. I hope the part I just got is good.

Thanks for clearing the recall up for me. It's what I thought but no one ever stated it clearly. :cheers:
