• 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.

Service Bulletin

Hey All, found out this morning that if you have a vin with the last 6 numbers being 000508 to 000515, your spyder is included in the service bulletin for the ignition switch.

Also found out that this was not a safety recall, but a service bulletin, so I asked about taking the bike on my upcoming trip if they can't get the part by Friday, was told if I am not having any problems to go for it.

so 7 unlucky Spyders are being recalled?
 
This is not a recall from what I found out it is a service bulletin telling the dealers that people who own these spyders will need to have the ignition swapped out and have the trunk re-keyed.
 
Its a HUGH list

I have the list in front of me and the numbers run from 1658 thru 2252 with several big gaps in the numbers, listed below, and lot of single ones, too many for me to list. Heres the major gaps:
1678-1749, 1937-2008, 2061-2162.

Bob, you're not on the list, so rest easy. I am exempt also. :D
 
Well, my dealer said they haven't received the bulletin yet. :banghead::banghead:


My # is 2203. And my local dealer won't answer the phone, guess I need to drive my a$$ down there, lol!

hmm these must be the key tab numbers, according to this list mine is not included, however, when the dealer ran my vin there it was on the list. My tab # is 1457

Curious: my Svc Mngr printed off the entire list for me this morning. Perhaps there has been an addendum?
 
this is the 2nd thread I've seen on this mystery recall and yet, I can find absolutely no information about it any where...

I just got home from my dealer and while there I asked them to look at check..... and they could find nothing

so...... WTF??:banghead:

You're on the list.

Yep, parts are on order. If they replace the ignition and the trunk key cylinder, will they also replace the matching key cylinder for my 622?

Key

My number is 2176 when I put the key in to start this morning the key would not turn in fact it was hard to get it out. When. I called the dealer they were not even aware of a service bulletin. This number is on the recall list.
 
Just Received Great News!!!!

Just got a call from the service department of Gulf Shores Power Sports. They are the ones that do all my service on my spyder. Anyway, yesterday a young lady had told me that my spyder was on the list for the ignition and key problem, this morning, Chip in the service department, who is a top notch service advisor, contacted me and verified that my key tab was 1457, that is when the great news came in, even though my vin was associated with the bulletin, the key tag excluded me. I know Chip, and he probably double checked this to be sure before calling me. Sooooooooooooo :yes: WDW here we come. As mentioned before we will be having a late lunch with friends at Joe's Crab Shack in Celebration on the 7th at 14:30 (2:30pm) if any of the central Florida ryders are near there stop in and say hi.

Ok, tis only 10:30 but I know it's noon somewhere, so tis a good time to have a sip and toast Gulf Shores Power Sports. Cognac up :cheers:
 
Ignition Switch

Just got back from my dealer and while the key tag is on the list for the service bulletin my VIN is not so they have to call BRP and find out if they are going to cover mine, mine is getting so bad that I'm afraid to take the key out of the ignition because i'm not sure if I'll be able to get it in the next time. Also having an issue with the Left hand switch housing were you can not us the left button when trying to do something with the settings like setting the time on the clock.

Bob
