“At random, the bike feels like it has a severe rear wheel wobble when negotiating a left-hand curve. It's a frequent occurrence but inconsistent and unpredictable. I took it to an independent repair shop and my local dealership but the technicians were unable to duplicate the problem on their test rides.”
NHTSA complaint #11548560, filed 2023-10“My vehicle start to lose control when I drive around left or right corner the rear end felt like it was bucking or slipping. The VSS fault error and Limp Mode kicked in and the speed doesn't really matter once you are over 20 mph. My vehicle is at the dealership as of 8/13/23 to replace the pitman arm to see if that fix the problem. The VSS fault error happens about 4 times since I brought the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11538224, filed 2023-08“I purchased my Ryker in June of 2022. Since my purchase I have been dealing with a death wobble in the front during left turns, a serious wobble in the rear during left turns, and continuous vss fault/Limp home mode failure. I reported the issue to the dealer and they attempted to correct the issue, but it has continued to fail. I contacted BRP the parent company, and they refused to respond. There have been 2 safety recalls and I am no longer feeling safe to ride the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11500479, filed 2023-01“On left hand turns only never right turns, if you are going over 30 mph the ABS/Stability controls turns on and make the wheels wobble and slows it down in the turn. This abrupt slow down cause vehicles behind me to slam on breaks because there is no brake lights warning them of the slow down. I took it to a shop and after a month in the shop, they replaced the yaw rate sensor which did not fix the issue. I have put the bike in the garage for a month now because it is too dangerous to drive until this issue is solved.”
NHTSA complaint #11547623, filed 2023-10“When making left turns, vehicle's rear tire wobbles severely. When doing this, it also causes the handle bars to try and straighten out during the turn almost causing the vehicle to hit a curb or guardrail. This only happens on left turns, never on right turns. After incident, the rear tire suspension feels spongy. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer for this issue. The had it for 5 weeks and could never reproduce the issue. I have also contacted Can Am BRP about this issue who only recommended that I take the vehicle back to the dealership.”
