What are the defects?
Under very hot ambient conditions and low speed riding, the temperature in the engine compartment may rise.
What are the hazards?
If the temperature in engine compartment rises too much, it can increase the risk of a skin burn or a vehicle fire.
What should consumers do?
Call an authorized BRP Can-Am Roadster dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The solution is the installation of improved body panels and an upgraded fuel system kit. This repair should take approximately 4 hours to complete. The dealer will perform this work at no charge to you.

30 C/85 F and more):
• Avoid idling or slow traffic riding for a long period of time.
• Avoid parking in an enclosed area immediately after your ride, let your vehicle cool down first
• Avoid prolonged direct contact with body panels; wear appropriate riding gear as stated in the Operator’s Guide.
