What’s wrong with it?
If the vehicle stability system is not altered, the operator may lose control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc.
(BRP) is recalling certain Coast to Coast accessory passenger seats, manufactured November 18, 2015, to April 4, 2016, and sold for use on Can-Am Spyder F3-series motorcycles.
When a passenger is sitting on the accessory seat, the seat may not activate a switch that changes the vehicle stability system to compensate for a passenger being on board.
