NHTSA Complaint #11011095 — 2011 CAN-AM OUTLANDER

THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND YANKED THE BIKE TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING ON A PATH IN THE WOODS. THE LIGHT CAME ON DASH THAT READ DPS (DYNAMIC POWER STEERING). IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT BIKE. HOWEVER, CANADA GOES BY A CERTAIN NUMBER AND OUR BIKE WAS LESS THAN 100 NUMBERS AWAY SO THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT COST US ALMOST $1000.00 . I AM VERY UPSET AND BELIEVE OUR BIKE SHOULD BE IN THE SAME RECALL. IT WAS FOR 2011 CAN-AM OUTLANDERS, YELLOW IN COLOR WITH A TWO UP SEAT. EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST ONCE EITHER. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED BY THE DEALER, WE HAD IT ABOUT A MONTH AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN.
