Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Crash reported

Over 6 months ago the front sprocket on my 2015 can-am Spyder went completely out all of a sudden. At the time I was going up a small hill near my house. The sprocket went out as I was going up the hill and around a corner. I lost control of the Spyder. It went off the road. I was only traveling about 20-25 miles an hour. The bike is now sitting in Sacramento at Elk Grove Powersports, where it was originally purchased. I don’t know what is wrong with it besides the sprocket since it went off the road. I was not hurt. My bike may have been. I had a neighbor tow it out of the ditch it landed in. It has been over six months that I have not had use of my Spyder, no repair parts available, no information, don’t know if it runs now. I want to know where I can serve small claims papers for this problem. I have actually spoken to a class-action attorney who will take my case. I have found several other Spyder owners dealing with this recall with no resolution in site who are willing to file with me. Please call me at [XXX]. I just want to know where to serve these papers. Please. I have repeatedly asked BRP where I would file these papers or report the incident, and I have gotten either the wrong information or no information at all. Today I received another “Important Safety Recall Notice” regarding the same issue that basically states the same thing the notice in May 2022 stated. There still is no resolution to this problem. Who knows what else is wrong with my bike since this occurred over six months ago. I am trying to file something here with your organization in hopes something will happen, maybe get the proper address to be served, a resolution like a new part to replace the one that went bad, anything, literally any information would be so appreciated at this point. Thank you for your time. I don’t know what else to do. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

TST 143615

POWER TRAIN

The front sprocket might be stuck on the mainshaft upon disassembly

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
