2012 Can-Am Spyder RT TSBs

In case of any ETA defect, it is not necessary anymore to replace the complete throttle body assembly.

The cluster will stop displaying the gear indication and check engine light came on (limp home condition) and the gearbox won't shift.

After investigation the cause of this noise is from a thrust washer vibrating and spinning in the HCM. Inspection of the HCM housing for wear is proposed; it may need to be replaced.

Replacing the analog fuel gauge with a new improved one (with stepper motor) is required. After fuel gauge installation, update the cluster software.

If the analog fuel gauge with stepper motor is installed with an old version of the cluster software or on a 2010 RT with a cluster which cannot be updated, the following situations may be observed: * Fuel level is displayed in the cluster digital display. * Wrong fuel level. * Even if the fuel tank is full, the digital display may show 3 bars and the analog fuel gauge shows half. * The "low fuel" indicator turns on when the fuel tank reaches half. * The temperature gauge needle indicates maximum (overheat) even if the engine is cold.

THE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL THE AIR SCOOP KIT. NOTE THAT THIS WILL NOT REDUCE HEAT FELT ON THE RH FOOT BY THE RADIATOR FAN.

station display option in the cluster will revert to "no display" after a few days. BRP is looking into the situation. This issue has been identified as a software problem between the cluster and the radio module. At this time replacement of parts is not the solution since they all have the problem.

The fuel cap may not seal properly the fuel tank filler neck. Fuel vapors in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

In the event you have a Spyder with a leak from the weep hole, please send information to BRP.

BE REPLACE OR RE-ROUTE AND FUEL CAP REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE FUEL CAP MAY NOT FIT ONTO THE FUEL TANK FILTER NECK.

water pumps mechanical seals installed slightly crocked in the clutch cover. This cause the seal to develop a leak on the side of the seal that had less pressure. Replacement parts should be installed using the revised procedure of the 2013 shop manual. TST is enclosed for the replacement procedure.

failures have risen in recent weeks. In the event that dealers have a Spyder leak from the weep hole (oil or coolant), BRP would like to have more information.

Switch inspection reveals the contact points inside the switch are exposed to high amperage. This causes an intermittent or permanently bad contact. The dealers are informed to inspect the hood actuator itself to see if the lever it pushes against is in-line and not obstructed. This could also happen if the front cargo is over packed and the pressure pressing up against the mechanism is beyond what the actuator can push and the switch gets too much amperage.
