A happy Hump day to the general populace of the Western Hemisphere; today, we bring you news of a recall sent out by Can-Am’s parent company on a brake light issue that’s affecting nearly 35,000 Can-Am models (2020-2023 Spyder RTs and 2022-2023 Rykers).
That’s a lot of bikes, so if you’ve got someone with one of these models in the garage, be sure to pass the following on.
According to coverage from RideApart, Bombardier Recreational Products issued the recall due to a double-issue brake light fault – the first coming from brake lights staying on when they shouldn’t and the second apparently causing “excessive friction” that could also affect the brake light’s function.

“On affected vehicles, the brake lights may stay illuminated even when the rider is not braking, which could misinform other motorists on the road of a rider’s intention and increase the risk of a crash,” explains the report’s coverage of the first recall.
“… while the newer light design [has a] separate issue that could cause ‘excessive friction’ and also affect brake light illumination for a different reason… the use of these two different brake light designs is why this recall includes multiple models and years.”
