Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Brake lights that remain illuminated can fail to alert other motorists of the rider’s intention and increase the risk of a crash.
Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc.
(BRP) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Spyder RT and 2022-2023 Ryker motorcycles.
The brake lights may stay illuminated even if the brake pedal is not pressed.
As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and associated Equipment.”
