Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), the parent company of Can-Am, is recalling certain 2025 Can-Am Origin EV motorcycles in the US market. The issue relates to a finding of potential fatigue-related failure of the front brake caliper support after multiple hard and/or emergency braking instances are performed. If the front brake caliper support fails, the front brake will not work as intended, thus greatly increasing the risk of a crash, injury, and/or potential death.
Approximately 398 bikes in the US market are included in this recall, which represents 100 percent of the population. Affected bikes were produced between May 2, 2024 and June 17, 2025. BRP is also recalling these bikes for this issue in other countries, and in some cases elsewhere, other date ranges may be involved. However, in the US, this is the only production date range that is involved at this time. BRP also notes that "vehicles not included in the recall will be retrofitted at BRP's facilities."
What's the problem? In the course of BRP's investigation, it noted a data input error in its finite element analysis software, which is meant to help a manufacturer simulate certain stressors and how they will impact a given physical element. Because the wrong data was entered, the front brake caliper support could fail at a lower threshold than had originally been intended.
