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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Sep 7, 2026
14,014 units potentially affected
The defect: Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Can-Am Origin, Can-Am Pulse, 2025-2027 Can-Am Canyon, 2024-2027 Can-Am Spyder RT, and Can-Am Spyder F3 motorcycles equipped with a touchscreen instrument cluster.

Engine
Filed Feb 23, 2026

I cold started the motorcycle and while waiting for a security gate to open the engine suddenly quit. I hit the starter and it immediately restarted. Then after I pulled out into traffic the engine died again. Fortunately I was in the right hand lane and again hit the starter and the engine again immediately restarted. By this time I knew I had a serious problem. Trying to get to a traffic light to make a u-turn back to where I store the bike the engine suddenly, again without any warning, died a third time while traveling at around 35 mph in traffic. I was able to safely coast over to the curb and hit the starter button and the engine immediately restarted. I was able to get back to my storage unit without further incident. At no time did I perceive any warning lights or check engine light. Upon each restart the engine ran perfectly without any roughness or stumbling. Power output was normal. Obviously this situation could result in an accident causing serious injury or death to me and/or others. The dealer came out and trailered the bike back for inspection. All they did was let the engine idle for a few minutes to warm up the oil for a requested oil change and check the computer for faults. None were found. They claim to have called the manufacture for advice and were told that since they did not reproduce the issue and there were no computer faults that is all they could do. I have refused delivery of the bike until this issue has been fully and unequivocally resolved as driving a vehicle with a known safety issue and causing an accident could result in me being sued in addition to injury or death. I have called CAN AM corporate customer service this morning to advise them of the issue. They will look into this situation and get back to me. Meantime the bike is still at the dealer for inspection. The issue appeared Wednesday the 18th for the first time. I have not been on it since. No one else has looked at the bike at this time except the dealer.
