I've called every dealer around me within 120 miles but they all say the same thing. That its only for 2013 and they aren't doing any of the scoops for older models unless BRP directs them too. But they won't even call BRP.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Heat recall on other model RT's?

Buy the kit...
You can also buy the kit and do it yourself if you are out of warranty. The kit is approx. $75 (don't quote me, I think that's what the dealer told me). I will get more specific information and the actual bulletin he showed me. If you are good with a Dremel on plastic, then have at it.
Again, the KEY here is to NOT discuss the 2013. :banghead: This is not part of that recall. The scoop kit for the 2010-2012 happens to be part of what is included in the overall kit for the 2013. This is also a "good-will" fix provided by BRP. Perhaps too many folks are calling now and they are backing off?

My opinion is BRP needs to release a tech bulletin for dealers to see this. My understanding was this was word of mouth to dealers about other year models where users are complaining of heat.
Thus you may have to go down that path with your dealers. Tell them to file a case with BRP and it should get you there.
If your out of warranty you will be paying labor.

On parts schematics it still shows the deflectors that go under the mirrors, no scoops. Therefore no part numbers yet on the new scoop pieces.

:cus: :banghead:
It is absolutely amazing to me how dealers cannot satisfy the very customers they so desperately need. Hang tight, I will get the correct Bulletin for you. It may take a few days unless someone else can get a hold of one. At the very least, I will buy it for you and ship it to you.
:gaah:This whole discussion is really tee-ing me off (at the dealers). A simple and affordable solution that has become so difficult for some to get remedied. Now I'm on a mission!!

Thanks, it really is frustrating. Our dealer in our town is new, only been open 2 months. But they have no concern at all about trying to get any information for me.

Article 112333
Okay... I just called my dealer. He was on the BRP Dealer's site and found "Article 112333." In my case, under warranty, he had to submit for approval. HOWEVER, since you have a 2010 and are probably out of warranty (?), you should be able to purchase the kit from your dealer. My dealer can purchase the kit seperately (under $100).
Make sure your dealer is NOT confusing this with the 2013 recall. That model should NOT come up in your conversation. If it does... walk out, come back in, and start over (lol). If your dealer is new, they may not be familiar with the BRP Dealer's site.
We are waiting for the kit to arrive so we can make sure it is going to work as expected. If it is as we expected and your dealer still has not helped you, we can something up. My dealer is willing to help you out. But he wants to make sure this kit is appropriate first.
Stay tuned...

Does not apply
Thanks, Bob. But, this bulletin does not apply to older models and is causing more confusion. This bulletin is ONLY for 2013. The 2013 kit includes modifications to the fuel system and will cause more harm than good in 2010-2013 models.
We are just looking for the Air Scoops here. The increased air circulation around the engine helps cool the seat area better.

Oops
Ooops, meant to say,"...will cause more harm than good in 2010-2012 models." My bad!

Publication #
There is an publication concerning this topic. It is TST #112333. Technical Service Tips (TST). It must be searched for without the hyphen. Can-Am will cover parts and labor on units in the regular warranty period (the first two years). All other units must request a goodwill warranty coverage.

Covered
We have had no fewer than 5 members of our SRA chapter that have had the scoops added to their 2011 and 2012 RTs with dramatic improvements in heat. This was done at no cost to the owners and picked up by BRP.

Until BRP and the dealers get their stories straight, I did a little work myself on my 2012 RT that has helped a little bit. I removed the acoustic panels along with the 2 small air deflectors underneath the mirrors. Removing the deflectors allows some of the airflow to go into the vents that the deflectors were blocking. Not a lot, but some. This isn't a replacement for having scoops force air into the vents, but until BRP decides what they are going to do for pre-2013 RT's, every little bit helps. I'm one of the shorts and flip-flop crowd, (yeah, I know, but I want to feel the air and the sun) and this has helped some. Now to get the 2014 right side grill and bottom block off plate unless I fashion something up myself. If I do it myself, I plan on using double sided Velcro twin stick so I can remove the block off plates in the winter.

I removed my acoustic panels also this past weekend. Helped a good bit with the heat coming up from the seat. Also removed the air deflectors. Next on the list will be to wrap the exhaust. At least the left side pipe. Wow that thing gets HOT!
Dealer just doesn't want to help me with the scoops. Said they will not fit a 2010. :dontknow:

Wow
Time to find a new dealer. The dealers in California are doing these as long as your bike is under warranty. You may want to reach out to BRP directly! Oh and they will fit! The body panels are them same on the 2010 as they are on the 2013.
