• 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.

BRP Warranty

I recently had an issue with my 2017 Spyder RT. I was on a trip and was in the Big Bend area of Texas when I experienced the dreaded LIMP MODE cluster_____. Two days it took to get to Las Cruces, NM to the Can Am dealer there to have it looked at. Three weeks later the Spyder finally got released to me with a new paddle switch which seems to have fixed the issue. BTW, I kept in touch with the service guys there on pretty much a daily basis for updates and I feel they did as good and fast of a job as they could. Hundreds of error codes to filter through and parts sent in which just flat took time. I have read somewhere searching around the internet that BRP reimburses, at least in part some of the expenses for travel and lodging when "stranded" such as it was, I live in Tucson, AZ and had to rent a car to get home. That said, does anyone know about, and where to find this information about reimbursement? Thanks
 
You will need to start a case with BRPCare. What happens is usually done on a case by case basis. Be nice, explain your problem, and see what happens.
 
Believe me, being nice to someone who you might be able to get a phone call to can pay off. You never know how much "muscle" with BRP that particular person may have. And yes, most definitely start a case with BRP.
 
I've never dealt with BRP, but I've found a well written letter, with supporting documentation, often works wonders. Keebler (the elves people) once screwed up my wife's rebate. She wrote a very detailed letter outlining her position with copies of all her documents. Several days later, a truck pulled up in front of our then home in Big Spring, TX. The driver unloaded two huge boxes, asked her to sign for them, then gave her two postage stamps, and an apology on behalf of Keebler. The boxes each contained one of everything Keebler produced at the time.

I've had a number of good responses in the intervening 30 years, but none quite so dramatic, or tasty.
