The short answer

NHTSA received Bombardier Recreational Products Inc.’s report on Dec 12, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If the fuel cap does not seal properly, it may leak fuel vapors. Fuel vapors in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and personal injury.

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc.

(BRP) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Can-Am Spyder GS, RS, and RT series vehicles.

The fuel cap may not fit onto the fuel tank filler neck, preventing it from sealing properly.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
