Example complaints

Steering: “I purchased my Can-Am spyder in 2013 it was brand new. It now only has 5,000 miles on it. I got the dps error and took it to the Can-Am dealer they said it is going to cost me 2500 to get it fix (and that this error isn't one that could be put off). I asked if it is covered by warranty or a recall system they said no that my VIN # didn't fall in that category. I looked it up on the Can-Am website and all the website says is the make and model and year of the recall not that it is limited to a VIN # range.”

NHTSA complaint #11000262, filed 2017-06, 5,000 miles

Vehicle speed control: “As I was driving my spyder wouldn't slow down and I was at 66mph.. I down shifted and it still stayed at 66mph. No matter how much I pressed on the brake it stayed at 66. Lucky I had enough sense to turn the bike off, but by then I was in the woods because I had to avoid hitting other cars. My power steering wasn't working at the time and I called brp on july 3 to ask them if it was still under warranty because it was replaced in april of 2011. They told me it was. So I had the accident two weeks later now brp wont pay for my power steering unit. …”

NHTSA complaint #10543959, filed 2013-09, 26,000 miles

Electrical system: “The vss fault light came on and the engine began running rough as if it was not hitting on all spark plugs when I went into a turn. I pulled over and shut off the engine, waited a few minutes, and restarted the vehicle. This allowed the computer to reboot. This has occurred three times since. Later, my front trunk release button quit working and the right fog light quit working (bulb is functional) and my gas mileage has gone down. I had none of these problems until the dynamic power steering unit was replaced during a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10442360, filed 2012-01, 4,670 miles

Exterior lighting: “Took bike to into bert's megamall in azusa, ca. To have coolant tank replaced as found coolant drip on driveway first week of oct 2013. Had to leave bike so they could order parts. Was called by service mgr. Several days later and was told that they ran VIN and dps safety recall had not been done and could not release bike until done. I said it was ok! To do recall. Picked up bike several days later and turn signal wouldn't cancel after turn. Returned to dealer. They had not zeroed steering. Fixed! Left dealer got on freeway and went about 3miles cluster lit up and bike went into limp mode. …”
