Chrome coated plastic

[MangoMike]

I noticed that the chrome coating on the words Can-Am has started to come off. Several of the letters are partially black. This is also happening to a friends bike which he bought a week before I did. The bikes are one year old this month.

Is this common? :dontknow:

I would not think so. If it was common, a lot of people all over the world would be very unhappy about a million different plastic products.

It's happened before.

Take it to the dealer.

It's a warranty replacement.

I have heard that using a power washer on the chrome with paint pieces will cause this to happen. Don't know if it is true as I don't use a power washer on those parts.

It's going in for the 12K service next week and I'll mention it to the dealer. Glad to hear it's covered.

I had mine replaced under warranty

Washed the RTs this morning and noticed that on the rear red reflector the words "SPYDER RTs" are coming off of the chrome. Not a big deal but still a quality issue. NO, I did not use a pressure washer just the garden hose with no nozzle on the end.
