NHTSA Complaint #10511491 — 2012 CAN-AM SPYDER RT

WHEN MANUALLY TURNING THE TURN SIGNALS OFF AFTER CHANGING TRAFFIC LANES, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH OR TURN ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS BRAND NEW. SOMETIMES IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE TURN SIGNALS OFF BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU MASH THE BUTTON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL COMES ON. AT THE 4500 MILE CHECKUP I HEAD THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH REPLACED AND IT WORKED FOR 5 MILES AND THEN STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AND IS NOW DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DOING BEFORE. I CARRIED IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN AND EVERY CAN-AM WE TESTED ON THE LOT DID THE SAME THING. EVEN IF THE TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT ON AND YOU MASHED THE BUTTON IN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD BLINK. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED THE OEM AND THEY ASSIGNED IT A TROUBLE TICKET NUMBER AND SAID IT WAS AN ON-GOING ISSUE AND WHEN THEY FOUND A SOLUTION THEY WOULD FIX IT. IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM OR ANY WORD FROM THE OEM THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. WHEN GOING THROUGH A MAJOR CITY LIKE DALLAS OR AUSTIN AND CHANGING LANES AND HAVING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL COME ON OR REFUSE TO GO OFF AND THEN HAVING TO MESS WITH IT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER. *TR
