What NHTSA recorded

Bombardier recreational is recalling 9,932 my 2008-2010 can-am spyder roadster gs motorcycles. A condition may exist where the operator of an involved vehicle may need to exert a force greater than expected to initiate the turning of the steering handlebar off center in order to correct vehicle drift from a straight line path. This higher than expected steering control input torque may cause a steering angle overshoot and an unexpected deviation of the vehicle from the operator's intended path.

Possible consequence

If this occurs, it can lead to a temporary out of lane excursion of the vehicle which increases the possibility of a crash with other traffic and or a drive off the road.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the appropriate components free of charge. The recall began on july 17, 2009. Owners may contact bombardier recreational at 1-866-767-0707.
