“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“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.”
