Can-Am recalls all 2013 Spyder RTs

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) has announced the recall of all 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT motorcycles, due to very high engine temperatures.

Prolonged idling or slow speed riding in warmer temperatures may result in very high temperatures in the engine compartment, which could lead to risk of skin burns or vehicle fire.

This recall, issued on Feb. 19, could potentially affect 5,165 units.

BRP will notify owners throughout the rest of this month, while the remedy for the recall is still under development. A second notice will be sent once a remedy becomes available.

Owners may contact BRP customer service with questions at 888/272-922 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888/327-4236 (TTY 800/424-9153), or go to www.safecar.gov.
