SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
- The defect
- Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2020 Can-Am Spyder RT motorcycles. During emergency braking situations, the support which holds the brake mechanism could break, causing a total loss of braking ability.
- What it can cause
- A loss of braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- BRP will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement bracket, free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2020. Owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222. BRP's number for this campaign is Bulletin 2020-5.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,424 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
CAN-AM vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 2 times before this, most recently in August 2013 as 13V386000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 6 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V175000 (exterior lighting).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. with NHTSA on March 27, 2020 as campaign 20V186000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
