NHTSA Update

[Magdave]

Not much info but this is what I got back after asking the investigator. Here is hoping for the best :thumbup:

I know what the fix is but cannot reveal it until BRP officially does so. All I can say is that it is comprehensive and effective. And, given that, producing remedy kits is taking a reasonable period of time.

Thanks for the update from Mr. Young. :thumbup:
Here's to hoping that his assessment of the fix, is accurate! :cheers:

 

[Magdave]

It is like waiting for Christmas :roflblack:

[cuznjohn]

using comprehensive and effective lets me think that you think it will work. being you can't say anything do you feel the fix is expensive

 

[Craniac]

Is the fix just for the RT or does it include the ST?

 

[Bob Denman]

2013 RTs only...
The STs were addressed with new body panels and some creative computer re-flashing.

 

[Chupaca]

Slow....

But still on it. Do hope they get on with it. Those affected have been waiting a long time...:banghead:

 

[Magdave]

Expense? Who cares I ain't paying for it. Just hope it works is all I care about. That said I am sure it will be more than tinfoil and vaporware. :thumbup: This is killing me because this week it starts the 85+ degree parking lot syndrome here in Myrtle Beach which pretty makes the interim letter a stop ride letter.:yikes: Plus I got lots of farkles waiting in the garage I will not put on until I am sure it works hyea:

 

[BikerDoc]

Sounds more encouraging than anything in the past

Saw the same statement on Facebook today. It is said to be an extensive retrofit.

Let's hope this does take care of the problem. It has been a very long time for those who have :spyder2:'s with the malady.

the only reason i asked that question, was for me to get a idea of just how much work was expected to do. example new panels or moving the radiator etc.

I cannot imagine that it would matter one way or the other. I kept mine too, but there is absolutely NO WAY I am putting that thing back on, after riding without it.

No one but BRP and NHTSA knows that answer....yet.:thumbup:

Personally If I were you I would put the cat back on before taking it in to get the fix IMHO. Who knows what they will be doing. :dontknow:
