Got LEAK Should it be warrenty?

[Yelhelp]

My spyder has been running a little hotter than it used to and I checked the over flow to see nothing in there. I was going to fill to the max line or just below. So off to the hardware store I go to get a funnel that I could use to get coolant in with. Then went to a can Am dealer (happen to be near by at the time) and bought the quart of coolant, $10 bucks, and when I get back home let it cool down. So finally start adding coolant and look under the bike to see it dripping down under the bike. I call Dougs Power sports and they give me the mechanic who says bring it up, I ask how long it will take can I wait for it or leave it. He says might be better to leave it . I say well I do have the Best Warranty and I hear these plastic tanks do get cracks , he said they do not stock them, and "he is not so sure this would be covered under warranty." What ? So I ask you all Has leaks been covered for others ? If not what is covered under this $900 dollar extra warranty? :banghead::hun:

BRP replaced and installed the coolant tank on my 09 GS when I went to the Owners Event. The seam on the tank split when I was about 150 miles away from Maggie Valley and I limped it in. BRP had a tech support team at the event who were helping with some issues with the Spyders and I took it to them to look at. They discovered the tank had split at the seam and ordered in a new reinforced tank overnight and installed it for nothing allowing me to continue riding and making the trek back to Michigan. I thought this was great customer support from BRP. I know a few others who had the same problem with the seams on the bottle and some folks were even carrying a spare with them in the event that the same happened to them.

Check radiator cap..

My 2013 RT Ltd had leaking problems, fixed by a new radiator cap. Now runs much cooler.

I'm surprised that he wouldn't be sure about a warranty item...

It should be covered. If it is not, press them hard to explain why. It is not a "wear item".

It's warranty

The coolant tank cracked on my 2010 RT after the factory warranty was expired. I don't have the BEST warranty but do have another aftermarket extended warranty. When I talked to a service rep at the dealership I was told that it would be covered under warranty. Otherwise, I would have replaced it myself. When I brought it in for repair, however, another service rep told me that the warranty didn't cover it. I asked if the factory warranty would have covered it and they said yes. I told them that when I bought the warranty, I had been told that it covered everything that the factory warranty covered. After some discussion, they agreed to split the cost with me and I was satisfied with that since it wound up costing me about the same as if I had bought the tank and replaced it myself. I guess there are two points to this; 1) According to my dealer, the tank should be covered under the factory warranty 2) Look a little deeper into any aftermarket extended warranty to be sure about what it covers. I didn't and I can't blame anybody but myself. Cotton
