Kind of an odd recall issue to come across our desk, but Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is recalling a handful (92, to be specific) of 2017 Can-Am Spyder RT trikes because the low-beam setting on the trike’s headlight shoots too high down the road – the issue stemming from a manufacturing error in the headlight assembly.
Besides annoying on-coming traffic, the headlight fails to meet requirements set by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS), under item number 108: “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and associated Equipment.”
As such, BRP will notify affected owners, and Can-Am dealers will replace the defective headlights, free of charge. BRP has not yet provided a notification schedule for this recall yet, but concerned Spyder RT owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222.
As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.
