The Can-Am Spyder RT is apparently not immune to the recall bug. That much we now know after Bombardier Recreational Products announced a recall of over 5,000 units of the 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT over what it claims as problems involving “excessive heat” in the engine compartment. Wait, isn’t that a normal occurrence on any engine? Not so, BRP, says, because this particular issue could result in skin burns for the rider, and worse, fire.
Yep. Anytime the word ‘fire’ is uttered in recall issues, you’re going to want to listen.
As such, BRP is advising owners of the 5,165 affected units of the Can-Am Spyder RT to refrain from keeping their rides idle for long periods of time or ride them slow in traffic. That’s easier said than done for heavy-footed riders, but the issue is serious enough that it needs to be addressed, at least until the company has the necessary components to repair whatever ills these rides.
Turns out, BRP still doesn’t have these parts to perform an actual recall so it might be best to just refrain from using the Can-Am Spyder RT at all. It’s a tough thing to ask riders who have no other modes of transportation readily available to them so if that’s not an option, the aforementioned suggestions will suffice for now.
Stay tuned and keep your ears to the ground to know when BRP is ready to begin the recall. But for now, try to adhere to these precautions because you never know how it might turn out for you.
