Were YOU contacted?
If not your vehicle was NOT recalled.
Recalls REQUIRE they contact you. Looks more like YOU fond the recall.
If anything like a CAR they will NOT service your Spyder.

Given that it is dated yesterday and just posted on their website - I'm sure many are not "yet" contacted - which is why I posted it for folks to be on the lookout - and/or run the VIN check on their website.

Also - if you read the statement on their website there's some interesting language such as "... as all front sprockets will need to be replaced..."

You can feel free to ignore this post until YOU get a letter if you like. Sorry my attempt at knowledge share has offended you.

I was notified this morning at midnight by email. I assume I will receive the actual mailed version but I received the same message as above. I just Called dealer. There is “NO” remedy or solution yet established but the dealers received the notice also. It is only a notification until the exact procedure is sent to the dealers. Ironically, I just posted this same question on another thread that my dealer wanted to remove my front pulley and grease for prevented maintenance at 28000 miles and this comes out now. This includes RT’s also.

I'm still fascinating and trying to figure out how they are "determining" which machines 2015-2019 are impacted. As of the moment neither of my VINs show impacted on their website. We shall see. I bought my 2015 F3S used from a private seller so not sure I'd get the recall notice. We bought our 2019 RTL new though so if it gets lumped in we should see that.

Thanks for posting this Joshua.

I wonder how they will handle those of us that have already bit the bullet and replaced it on our own?

I guess now that the NTSB is involved they may have to come up with a true fix for the problem. One can only hope

Thanks for posting. Mine doesn't show up yet but it's way early in the process.

Ed I’d call. Here is the answer to your question in the post. Can’t hurt!

I’m sure he was going to use Moly. Its just technical words for lubricating. Just like he said “sprocket” and everyone jumped all over me saying it was a “pulley”, yet in their recall they refer to it as a sprocket.

I've heard sprocket and pulley over and over again - depending on who you talk to. I always called it a pulley myself.

OK, however folks who use the wrong words or terminology don't inspire confidence in me .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

F3 Front Drive Pully Recall

https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/e...PLI1IyXv-fNrWAhryFTOZlkjkn0BIAmjyUnW-_8H0qXv4

About time BRP did a recall. Recall available for 2015 and up.

 

[cravenfun]

I got lucky. Bought our '15 F3S 23k miles used in the fall. Wife only put 100 miles on it and the pulley/sprocket failed. Dealer covered repair fully. Other than having to retrieve it via trailer and taking a 3.5 hr road trip back to the dealer to get it fixed mines been fine. White version was installed.
I'm a red dust inspector now after cleaning out all the old dust build up.
That failure is also what has me a regular reader here now also. Thanks to everyone who has come before me.

Just checked my VIN and so far I'm in the clear. The thought occurred to me that the reason why some bikes are included and others are not may be due to BRP sourcing the pulleys from different vendors.

I just read that notice, it only covers 2015 to 2019.
