Canister picture

This is what the canister looked like when the tech at Arctic Adventure took it out. For all those that have not had their the recall done yet. Call your dealer and push them. This isn't a laughing matter.

Is this only the '13 models? I have a 2012 RT-S and haven't gotten anything in the mail regarding recall....

For the umpteenth time, this recall only applies to 2013 ST's and RT's.

The tech never showed it to me, but my canister, as well as my master cylinder and brake cable sheath melted . . . yup, this recall is no joke . . .

:shocked: Whew! Good thing that this was caught before anything... else:yikes: ... happpened!

It still baffles me how this much heat was not detected during development and testing. I'm not upset because I don't have the latest motor or the latest transmission. I am upset because I feel like I was sold a faulty product. I'd like to have confidence in BRP, that they are going to step up, but ... I like where Spyder technology is headed, but will wait for you 2014 BRP Beta testers to write your reports before I jump in with more $$$! Good luck!

how many miles on your bike because i looked at mine with only 1k on it and all looked good

 

[taxmyzer]

The bike has a little over 4,300. While I was having the work done the tech showed me another 2013 with the same issue and about the same mileage.

The most intense heat is from 80mph interstate travel for hours on end. This seems to be when most of the melting happens. So if you don't do a lot of high speed interstate travel it might take a lot more miles before you have a problem.

Regardless, get the recall done if you have a 2013 ST or RT, don't wait.

WOW! You would think that 80 mph on an Interstate would give you MAX air flow for cooling. Something's not quite right. :dontknow:
