On April 8, 2026, while riding on a busy 8 Lane (4 each direction) interstate during evening rush hour, I experienced immediate loss of propulsion when I attempted to engage the throttle. There was absolutely no power, just a grinding noise. I immediately put on my hazard lights and began working my way over toward the right berm. The exit was within a very short distance and I was able to exit the interstate and pulled in to the first road I could. I had to put my Can Am Spyder in neutral so my husband could push me off to the side of the road to safety. There were no warnings or symptoms prior to my immediate loss of propulsion. I was placed in harm's way because most drivers were traveling in excess of the speed limit of 70 mph. I was in fear for my life as there were truck tractors and other vehicles within feet of the rear of my Can Am Spyder as I made my way to safety. The loss of proplusion was caused by the output shaft stripping the front sprocket. The sprocket was physically inspected by a dealership and BRP as well and replaced with another sprocket. I previously had a 2018 Can Am Spyder F3 and the sprocket was replaced 4 times due to the same issue, however my sprockets were always replaced before an epic fail as happened in this case. There was a recall and final fix with a stronger sprocket by BRP. I do not want anyone else to experience this safety issue.

The contact owns a Biltwell Bonanza helmet. The contact stated that while driving a 2023 Can-Am Spyder F3 at 60 MPH in windy weather, the helmet visor unexpectedly detached.
