On February 6, 2023, Bombardier Recreational Products Incorporated (BRP) notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about a safety recall concerning some 2022 Can-Am Spyder F3 and F3-S motorbikes. On affected vehicles, the rearview mirror lens may suddenly detach from the mirror housing. If riders cannot see behind and around them due to the mirror lens unexpectedly coming loose, it could increase the risk of a crash.
Approximately 1,720 Can-Am Spyder F3 and F3-S are believed to be affected, representing an estimated 12 percent of the population. The affected machines were produced between the dates of January 27, 2022 and May 27, 2022. Can-Am's investigation of the issue found that there is “a high probability that the issue was due to a wrong plastic injection control for the mirror housings by its supplier for a batch molded in April 2022.”
