“Brp sent me a letter to recall my can am Spyder Rt because brakes could fail. The only dealer for them around here is middletown cycles and since I did not buy vehicle from them they are telling me about 8 weeks maybe servicing it if they get time. I thought when a recall was on a vehicle they are suppose to fix in a timely matter, I don't think maybe in 2 months is a timely manner. Please can you help me or give me advice what I can do.”
