BRP Closed for THREE Weeks

[Papa]

Has anyone else heard that BRP is closed for three weeks INCLUDING the parts department? Can this be true?

They probably shut the factory down so everyone could take vacations. This way, the factory stays dark, and nothing goes to waste.

Could this also have something to do with the shifting of some product to new production facilities?

Seems (I think)sea doo and ski doo's are being made in Mexico or some foriegn country and they send em back here to be put together...BUT they come in broken pieces due to lack of good packing, pieces missing out of motors( like a piston) and other crap like that. If BRP wants their stuff to sell here they need to get back to AMERICAN mechanics working on their stuff.

It will probably be during the "Construction Holiday" here in Quebec. A large % of Quebec shuts down for 2-3 weeks every year.

They have closed for two weeks the past two years but maybe they need the extra week to retool for the new models.

I agree. Auto manufacturers shut down a few weeks every summer to retool for the next model year production.

But I haven't heard anything about BRP shutting down...

I understand a production shutdown. What I heard was the parts department was also shut down. If you need a part for a repair we will have to wait until the shutdown is over. For some folks the Spyder is their day to day transportation.

They have a parts hub in Georgia... I doubt that shuts down... though it may run out of parts on hand.

I believe Canada has a yearly thing where much of the population is on vacation... Darn socialists! So this isn't a big deal, and they probably wrap a lot of planning around re-tooling, heavy maintenance and so forth... so, I wouldn't read too much into it.

If memory serves well, I think they do this every year.
