Brake light stays illuminated even when brakes are not engaged. Upon research internet shows this is a recall issue affecting 35,000+ can-am rykers but when I contact my dealer they say that it is not a recall. Can someone please look into this? I believe it should absolutely be a recall and fixed at no cost.

Tires
Filed Jul 16, 2026TN

The contact owns a 2023 Can-Am Ryker. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was performing normally. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the tires needed to be replaced and balanced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 0.8.

Steering
Filed May 2, 2025CA

Common problem amongst Can Am Ryker riders. When making a sweeping left turn between 20-40 mph, the right front wheel will brake/accelerate on it's own and the bike will jerk. It also causes the right wheel to wobble forcing me to accelerate or decelerate to retain control of the bike. I quick google search produced hundreds of other riders experiencing the same issue and that BRP/Can Am does not have a permanent fix for this issue. I love riding my Ryker, but have avoided it for anything more than a couple mile ride to the store for fear of losing control or being rear ended when it decelerates on it's own. Please investigate.

Suspension

Yaw sensor, codes C0063, C006C, rear end feels like it's trying to break free from the road.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Filed May 7, 2024SC

BRP has launched a recall campaign (23V855) for the fuel pump on ALL YEARS of Can-Am Ryker spanning from 2019-2024 but somehow my 2023 3JB2HEH43PJ000138 ryker is not included in the affected population. I've seen too many instances of the ryker being stranded on the side of the road that I am beginning to get worried that I might get stranded as well. My Ryker is an early 2023MY production(september 2022) so I have reasons to believe that my unit should have been included in the affected population. Can you please add my vehicle to the affected population for this campaign?

Steering
Filed Oct 23, 2023PA

When making left turns the computer causes the left turn to become unsafe, a feeling in the steering line a flat tire, or otherwise causing over steering and can result in accidents due to the faulty computer system. Issue appears to effect many Can Am Rykers, it is a known defect per the dealers, and even through 4 years of production Can Am has failed to resolve this known issue. There is no solution or work around, except to put up with it. The vehicle stabilize computer system caused intermittent "limp mode" problems after or during the left turn also

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.
