BRP is recalling all 5,165 units of its 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT “motorcycles” for problems with the engine compartment temperature when idling or in warmer temperatures.
Apparently the engine compartment on the 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT can retain an excess of heat, which in turn could burn the rider or cause the trike to catch fire.
At this time, BRP doesn’t have a remedy for this recall, but the company will send an interim notification to owners this month (February 2015), and will also mail a second notice when a remedy becomes available.
Concerned 2013 Can-Am Spyder RT owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222; and as always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.

“cause the trike to catch fire.”
I’m ok with this.

“…when idling or in warmer temperatures.”
Clearly there is no hurry then. At least not in Canada.

This is a poorly engineered product.
Had they done proper testing this stupid issue wouldn’t have happened.
