Interesting, I wonder if Spyders won't be too far behind this.

How similar are the two systems?

This recall should include all Spyders too. The problem with a suddden unexpected turn to the left is exactly what happened to my Spyder. I didn't experience any steering "bind" that seems to have caused an over correction on the part of the operator as was reported by many Spyder owners. Come on BRP....do the recall or face serious liability lawsuits !!!!

This sounds like it could be similar to the ground fix that was already called for on the Spyders.

Nah... the ground fix was to correct electrical/magnetic field interference to the SE's electronics... this one says a short causes the left turn.

Thanks for posting this. My buddy, a retired deputy sheriff, has had steering problems lately with his spyder, and tomorrow will be filing a complaint with the NHTSA. Hope the spyder recalls won't be too far off.
They need to be fixed, not just replace parts.

My Spyder is now hibernating for the winter, but I've got a hunch my first ride in the spring will be to the dealer for a recall.

Why is it a voluntary recall, instead of manditory?

I think all that means is BRP is issuing the recall of their own will, they are not being forced to issue the recall by a court order.

Ah, I see now, I assumed it meant voluntary to Spyder owners. Thanks for the clarification.
