ok i didn't read all the posts, but i would think the bulbs them selves have been tested to see if the light. the molds for the plastic injection of the housing for the headlamp is done and looked at. then all is assembled. at that point it is assembled and shipped to BRP. when a bike is on the assembly line. it reaches the section where the headlights are installed and they are screwed in and the bike moves on. i would think it is all set up so they don't need to be aligned, and that one mistake can lead to many before it is figured out. DO I MAKE ANY SENSE

As much as you ever do John. But all kidding aside, I think you are exactly right. I guess in the overall scope of things, 92 Spyders is really not that many. Unless one of them is yours. (Not yours, John). Now, does anyone think that BRP will be proactive in finding the owners of these 92 Spyders, having their dealer notify them, send the parts to the dealer, have the dealer call the owner when they have the parts, schedule an appointment (quickly) and get the Spyder back to it's owner? Or will it be the usual - owner finds out on his own that his/her particular Spyder is part of the recall, calls the dealer multiple times (As I have had to do) and ask them to order parts and make an appointment, dealer either says they have no idea what the owner is talking about or that they can't order parts until BRP says they can do so. (This also has happened to me with the 2013 RT recall). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

From the Asphalt and Rubber report.

BRP will notify affected owners, and Can-Am dealers will replace the defective headlights, free of charge.

BRP has not yet provided a notification schedule for this recall, but concerned Spyder RT owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222.
As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.

I'm thinking that your post is from the NHTSA site. So, I'm guessing that even the pre-recall letters from BRP have not yet gone out. You know, the one you get that tells you a recall is coming, but no idea when. At least this time, they are divulging what the fix will be.
