IMPORTANT NOTICE: BRP SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 7-19-09

[FANG]

Good Luck Brian

Just called my dealer and they told me they were aware of the recall but that BRP has not sent them any information about what is needed to correct the problem???? :shocked: :dontknow:

not true...my dealer told me that the groundwire is a Recall and to bring mine in...he look up my vin and said brp had issued a recall for certain vins, mine being one. he said the steering recall also applies to my bike

Well, your dealer can call it anything he wants, but it is not a recall. All recalls are listed on the NHTSA Web site, and this is not included (there are only two), nor are the parking brake "recall", the GPS "recall", etc. BRP calls them campaigns and issues service bulletins to dealers to deal with them. Still listed by model and VIN#, but just in their system. Recalls are public and require notice, service bulletins are not and are handled by dealers.

From posts so far, it looks like some owners have been called by dealers and other have just taken their Spyder in for the fix. Has anyone actually received the official recall letter from BRP yet?

Question was answered today as official recall letter showed up.

I'm glad you got your letter; this will make it easier when I take mine to Filer's. Have you been in touch with Filer's since the news broke?

I haven't gotten my letter yet; but, you purchased your spyder before me.
