2010 BRP SEA-DOO ADVANCED TEC

  • Brand BRP

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

What happened

Bombardier Recreational Products is recalling certain model year 2010 Sea-Doo Advanced Tec Trailers manufactured between December 10, 2009 and March 22, 2010. The trailers have a latching mechanism called the iCATCH that may be misadjusted and fail to properly secure the front end of the personal watercraft. If the rear latching straps are not used correctly and the front latch fails, the watercraft could slide off the trailer during transport, increasing the risk of a crash.

To address this issue, dealers will install a safety cable on the front latch mechanism, affix an updated label to the trailer, and provide owners with an updated user guide at no charge. The recall was expected to begin on or before June 15, 2010. Owners of affected trailers should contact Bombardier Recreational Products at 1-888-638-5397 to arrange service.
