Important message for those of you that may own a 2024 RT Limited. I just returned from my yearly oil service on my 2024 Limited, but while I was there, my technician discovered that my brake fluid was totally black and needed to be flushed or it definitely could cause major problems. That being said my Spyder is obviously 2 years old and has 8300 miles.
After a long discussion with the technician, who happens to be Shawn Smoak, who is one or the best, if not the best Spyder technician, he felt that for what ever reason, it is BRP that is at fault. Probably used a poor grade or contaminated brake fluid at the factory. He certainly didn't feel it had anything to do with me as the owner.
If anyone out there has a 2024 Spyder and have not had your brake fluid checked, I would do so soon. It was costly to have this done and of course, it's not under warranty. Because it looks like faulty material, Shawn encouraged me to contact BRP customer service. There may be others who have had the same issue, so there could be a bulletin put out that would help pay for this problem. Shawn said he is pretty certain I am not the only one with this problem. As Spyder owners, let's find out if BRP could be at fault. Thanks, I would like to hear back from all of you.
PS. If you have not heard of Shawn Smoak he has a website that is absolutely fantastic. It is shawnsmoak.com
