EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
- The defect
- Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (BRP) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Spyder RT and 2022-2023 Ryker motorcycles. The brake lights may stay illuminated even if the brake pedal is not pressed. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Brake lights that remain illuminated can fail to alert other motorists of the rider's intention and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Depending on the model, dealers will replace the brake light switch, adjust the brake light switch, and/or add a spring to the brake light switch, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 17, 2023. Owners may contact BRP Customer Service at 1-888-272-9222. BRP's number for this recall is 2023-6.
- 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 34,457 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
CAN-AM vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting once before this, most recently in May 2017 as 17V318000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 52 complaints with NHTSA, 18 of them before this campaign was filed. 6 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2020, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V855000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V799000 (electrical system), 22V503000 (steering), 20V186000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 17, 2023 as campaign 23V175000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
