Can-Am recall: Power train
What is wrong
Brp is recalling certain model year 2011 spyder rt sm5 roadsters. While down shifting it may be possible to inadvertently engage reverse without depressing the reverse button due to a defective reverse actuator cable.
What could happen
If this happens while the vehicle is moving forward, the rear wheel could lock and the engine could stall. If this happens while vehicle is stopped, the vehicle could back up. A vehicle stall without warning or an expected movement in reverse may increase the risk of a crash possibly resulting in injury or death.

Dealers will validate proper operation of the reverse actuator and if defective, the reverse actuator assembly will be replaced free of charge. The safety recallbegan on february 11, 2011. Owners may contact brp at 1-888-638-5397.
