BRP Recalls ATVs Due to Loss of Control Hazard

Is my product affected?

Can-Am ATVs

  • Brand BRP Mexico S.A. de C.V., Ciudad Juárez, Mexican state of Chihuahua

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

BRP is recalling 2010 and 2011 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade model ATVs due to a defect in the Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) system. The main shaft in the DPS can crack, and pieces of it can detach and block the gears, which limits steering ability and creates a loss of control hazard that could result in serious injury or death to the operator.

The recalled models include the 2010 Outlander 500, 650, and 800R and Renegade 800R in various packages, as well as the 2011 Outlander 500, 650, and 800R and Renegade 800R in specified packages. According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact their local Can-Am ATV dealer to schedule a free repair. BRP will contact registered owners directly.
