Defect. BRP IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 SEA-DOO ADVANCED TEC TRAILERS MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 10, 2009 THROUGH MARCH 22, 2010. THE LATCHING MECHANISM OF A SEA-DOO PERSONAL WATERCRAFT TO AN ADVANCED TEC TRAILER (KNOWN AS THE iCATCH) MAY BE MISADJUSTED AND NOT PROPERLY SECURE THE FRONT END OF THE PERSONAL WATERCRAFT BEING TRANSPORTED. WHEN THIS CONDITION EXISTS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ROAD OSCILLATIONS CAUSE THE PERSONAL WATERCRAFT TO JUMP OUT OF THE iCATCH HOOK PART OF THE MECHANISM.

Risk. IF THE REAR LATCHING STRAPS ARE NOT USED TO PROPERLY SECURE THE BACK END OF THE PERSONAL WATERCRAFT, IT MAY SLIDE OFF THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SAFETY CABLE ON THE FRONT LATCH MECHANISM, TO AFFIX AN UPDATED LABEL ON THE TRAILER AND TO GIVE TO THE OWNER AN UPDATED USER GUIDE. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JUNE 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRP AT 1-888-638-5397.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
