05- Fuel System#2022676
320 units affected
Issue: On certain side-by-side UTVs, the fuel hose assembly may have been damaged during assembly. As a result, fuel could leak in the engine compartment. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: BRP will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel hose assembly.
- Engine#2021268
11,157 units affected
Issue: On certain side-by-side UTVs, a lack of maintenance could lead to an engine misfire while driving. If this happens, you may notice changes in engine performance, including: an engine stutter, a significant increase in vibration and a lack of engine power. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine and exhaust system could overheat. This could result in permanent damage to the engine and the vehicle. Safety Risk: This service campaign helps to prevent the risk of damage that can be caused by an engine misfire. Note: This recall is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Corrective Actions: Can-Am will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your UTV to a dealer to update the engine software. This update will reduce the chance of overheating if an engine misfire occurs. Can-Am recommends following the maintenance procedures that are described in the Owner's Manual to ensure proper engine performance.
- Steering#2016163
4,482 units affected
On certain vehicles, steering coupler splines may become damaged at the rack and pinion. This could potentially result in complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. Important Note: Repair parts will be available at the end of June 2016. Owners should avoid driving their vehicle until repairs can be completed. In the interim, dealers can perform an inspection to allow use under limited conditions.
- Steering#2012440
1,250 units affected
On certain side-by-side vehicles, lower splines at the steering column to rack and pinion joint may not be sufficiently engaged. The splines could fail causing a loss of steering. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect spline engagement and replace the steering wheel shaft or steering column if necessary.
- Other#2012361
10,800 units affected
If some side-by-side ATVs are operated in deep water (over 30 cm) containing an important quantity of floating grass, hay or leaves, this debris may accumulate near the exhaust system and potentially cause a fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: A debris cleaning procedure will be provided to owners and dealers will install a front grille kit upon request.
