2009 Can-AM Spyder recalls

Recall 09V-162: Steering

Reported May 19, 2009 · 16,361 vehicles affected · BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.

Problem: Bombardier recreational is recalling 9,932 my 2008-2010 can-AM spyder roadster gs motorcycles. A condition may exist where the operator of an involved vehicle may need to exert a force greater than expected to initiate the turning of the steering handlebar off center in order to correct vehicle drift from a straight line path. This higher than expected steering control input torque may cause a steering angle overshoot and an unexpected deviation of the vehicle from the operator's intended path.

Risk: If this occurs, it can lead to a temporary out of lane excursion of the vehicle which increases the possibility of a crash with other traffic and or a drive off the road.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the appropriate components free of charge. The recall began on july 17, 2009. Owners may contact bombardier recreational at 1-866-767-0707.

I had my bike diagnosed by a mechanic and he deactivated the faulty dps system and the bike no longer had the steering issue. I contacted brp directly about this issue and the declined to offer any assistance although this was the faulty part that was recalled last year. The bike only has 12000+ miles on it and no matter the age should not have such a major malfunction with such little miles.

Steering · reported Dec 26, 2019

I was riding for about 30 minutes when I felt my steering stick pulling the bike to the right, then I had to forcefully push the handlebars back left to get it to break free. I pulled over and inspected the handlebars for obstruction but there were none. I immediately started back toward home to figure out what was going on but the longer I was on the bike the worse it got until it scared me to the point I had it towed back to my house. After returning I did some research and it seemed like the issue I had was the same as units that had been recalled last year, but after calling brp they…
