BRP has recalled approximately 2,380 of its model year 2017 Can-Am Maverick X3 side-by-side off-road vehicles because the steering rack and pinion assembly may have an improper amount of grease. This defect has already led to 33 reports of steering issues, including cases where the steering locked intermittently or completely. These vehicles were sold at Can-Am dealers nationwide between August and November 2016 for between $23,000 and $27,000. Owners should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact an authorized dealer for a free repair.
The lack of proper lubrication in the steering assembly can cause the steering to lock up or become difficult to turn. This results in a sudden loss of steering control, creating a significant crash hazard for the driver and passengers.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a BRP Can-Am side-by-side dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. BRP is notifying registered consumers directly about this recall.
