Consumer Description

40,000 MILES AND THE STEERING MECHANISM HAS WORN OUT. THE HANDLEBARS MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT THE FRONT WHEELS BEING AFFECTED. THE DEALER SAYS THE MACHINE CANNOT BE SAFELY RIDDEN UNTIL THE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER NOTED THAT HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BEFORE I HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS REPORTING THAT BRP HAD TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS IN EARLIER YEAR MODELS AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE HAS RE-APPEARED IN ITS 2014 MODELS.
