NHTSA Complaint #10525252 — 2012 CAN-AM SPYDER RT

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH DOES NOT CANCEL PROPERLY (MANUALLY). WHEN SIGNALING A RIGHT TURN (FOR EXAMPLE), DEFINITIVELY PRESSING THE SWITCH TO CANCEL FREQUENTLY CAUSES THE LEFT SIGNAL TO FLASH. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, THE LEFT SIGNAL BEGINS TO FLASH AS IF IT WAS PRESSED TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN. THE ISSUE CAN BE REPRODUCED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, SAFELY ENSURING THE SWITCH IS BEING PRESSED PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING, THIS RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. IT IS NECESSARY TO LOOK AT THE DASH TO VERIFY THAT THE SIGNAL HAS BEEN PROPERLY CANCELED; TAKING THE RIDER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC AHEAD. OFTEN TIMES, GETTING THE TURN SIGNAL TO CANCEL TAKES SEVERAL TRIES; AND CONSUMES SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE SWITCH ONCE. IT IMPROVED FOR A SHORT TIME - NOW ITS BACK TO MALFUNCTIONING REGULARLY. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *TR
