STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR

The defect
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2022 Can-Am Ryker motorcycles. The handlebar stem bolt may break unexpectedly due to insufficient thread length.
What it can cause
A broken handlebar stem bolt can cause a sudden loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Owners are advised to not ride their motorcycle until the remedy is complete. Dealers will clean the threads of the steering column and install a new steering stem bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 14, 2022. Owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222. BRP's number for this recall is 2022-16.
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.nhtsa.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 9,353 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% 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, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

CAN-AM vehicles have been recalled over the steering once before this, most recently in May 2009 as 09V162000. 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 33 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 17 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V855000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V175000 (exterior lighting), 22V799000 (electrical system).

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.
