Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc.: Spyder RT and Ryker Motorcycles Recalled for Persistent Brake Light Illumination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is recalling approximately 34,457 motorcycles, including 2020-2023 Spyder RT and 2022-2023 Ryker models. The brake lights on these vehicles may stay lit even when the rider is not pressing the brake pedal, which violates federal safety standards for lighting. Dealers will provide a free repair that may include replacing the brake light switch, adjusting the switch, or adding a spring to the mechanism depending on the specific model.

Risk

If the brake lights remain constantly illuminated, they fail to signal to other drivers when the rider is actually slowing down or stopping. This lack of communication significantly increases the risk of a rear-end collision or other crashes.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your motorcycle is affected by checking your vehicle's make, model, and year against the recall list: 2020-2023 BRP Spyder RT and 2022-2023 BRP Ryker.
  2. Contact an authorized BRP dealer to schedule a free appointment to have your brake light switch inspected and repaired.
  3. If you have further questions, contact BRP Customer Service at 1-888-272-9222 and reference BRP recall number 2023-6.
