DPS (Dynamic Power Steering) unit still a recall replacement part?

[rworell]

I have a used 2011 RT Limited and there is no doubt that my DPS is shot. doing some history and research I found that BRP replaced this unit under a Recall. I also read a editorial from Cycle World (http://www.cycleworld.com/2012/05/09/can-am-spyder-rt-s-long-term-wrap-up) that was posted in 2012 and had that unit replaced more than once. Seeing mine is a 2011 and never had it done, wondering if it is still possible. This would be a crazy expensive fix if I had to pay full price and labor.

Thanks

That recall was only for the 2008 to 2010 models. They had changed the DPS unit for the 2011 model year...
Sorry! :shocked:

RATS!!!

Still love my ride but in the last 3 summers I've put in 3 major repairs that have all cost me a total of about $2000. Frustrating to say the least because I put around 1200 miles a year and it's babied.

It might be worth looking around for a unit off of a wrecked bike... :dontknow:

Why not just pick up the parts and change it yourself???

I certainly could do that if I had the $839.00 to purchase it. :dontknow:
