NHTSA Complaint #11025222 — 2008 CAN-AM SPYDER GS

I PURCHASED A 2008 CAN-AM SPYDER GS IN 2008. VIN [XXX] VEHICLE PURCHASE DATE 03/06/2008 BRP ISSUED A RECALL ON SEPT 7, 2010 FOR A DYNAMIC POWER STEERING (DPS) UNIT REPLACEMENT HTTPS://CAN-AM.BRP.COM/SPYDER/OWNERS/SAFETY/SAFETY-RECALLS/DYNAMIC-POWER-STEERING--DPS--UNIT-REPLACEMENT.HTML THE RECALL WAS DUE TO A FAULTY POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT, WHICH SEVERELY HAMPERED THE ABILITY TO TURN THE BIKE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS FOR SHARPER TURNS. I HAD THE DPS REPLACED IN 2011. THE UNIT HAS AGAIN FAILED, AND THE REPAIR SHOP (DEL AMO MOTORSPORTS IN REDONDO BEACH, CA...WHO DID THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT) HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL. I FILED A CASE NUMBER WITH BRP, BRP CASE # 01010694, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY COVER THE REPLACEMENT AGAIN, AS THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. UPON FILING THE REQUEST, CAN-AM DID REJECT THE CLAIM AND SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AS A RECALL. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY A REPAIR TO A REPAIR. THIS IS ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE RECALL, WHICH MEANS THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALL CONDITIONS AGAIN. I AM NOT ASKING FOR CAN-AM TO COVER ALL OF THE WORK, SIMPLY COVER THE PART (THE DPS UNIT), WHICH COSTS OVER $1200 USD. AS A RECALLED PART THEY SHOULD HONOR THE PART FOR AN ACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE. IN THIS CASE, THE REPLACED DPS UNIT HAS ONLY LASTED FOR 2-3000 MILES, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. BRP SHOULD COVER ALL OF THE RECALL REPAIR, OR AT LEAST THE PART (THE NEW DPS UNIT), WHICH TOTALS OVER $1200 USD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
