NHTSA Complaint #10547672 — 2013 CAN-AM SPYDER RT

THE BIKE HAS A VERY BAD HEAT PROBLEM. THE TEMPS ON MY RIGHT FOOT ARE VERY HIGH AND I SMELL GAS WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND SHUT IT DOWN. I REPLACED THE FRONT SHOCKS DUE TO THE BIKE DOING A NOSE DIVE, AND THE FRONT BALL JOINTS ALSO HAD TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THEY WERE BAD. MY BIKE IS GOING INTO THE DEALER ON TUESDAY THE 15TH OF OCTOBER FOR A COMPLETE WORK OVER TO SEE WHY ALL THE HEAT IS THERE. CAN AM AKA. BRP KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. A COUPLE OF BIKES HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND THERE IS A HEAT RECALL WHERE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS ARE MELTING AND THEIR FIX FOR THIS IS A HEAT TAPE ON THEM. THE NEW BIKES THAT HAVE COME OUT FOR 2014 ADDRESSES ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND SEEM LIKE THEY KNEW OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS AND FIXED THEM IN THE NEWER BIKE. I EVEN TRIED TO TRADE THE BIKE IN AND THE DEALERS DON'T WANT THEM, SO WE THE OWNERS OF THE 2013 RT'S ARE STUCK WITH A BAD BIKE. IS YOU GO TO A SITE CALLED SPYDERLOVERS.COM YOU WILL SEE THAT BRP EVEN POSTED A POST ON HOW THE OWNERS FEEL AND TO SEND THEM OUR THOUGHT OF THE BIKES. THEY KNOW THE BIKES HAVE A PROBLEM BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO WE JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DEALERS AND THEY JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND RUN TEST'S TO NO AVAIL . ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
