    Making left turns causes vehicle to go into limp mode which makes vehicle lose control! It’s a known issue with rykers that BRP refuses to validate!!! Almost lost control and crashed due to it

  • 2019 CAN-AM RYKER
    - Edinburg, TX

    I have been dealing with an issue since December 2021 where the wheels lock up on tight left turns which has been pretty dangerous. Trike gives off vss code c0063 and c006c. I have taken it to the dealer on 3 occasions each time being told it was fixed only to have to situation reoccur a few days later. I have been unable to ride the vehicle since December.

  • 2021 CAN-AM RYKER
    - CORNISH, NH

    When taking left turns either at slow or highway speeds, the left front brake grabs as though the abs is kicking on, making it hard to steer and potentially losing control. The dealer says they were not able to duplicate the problem. My wife's 2020 Ryker Rally does the same thing. The dealer says the same thing about hers, no issue.

    - Cornish, NH

    When turning left at roadway speeds whether it a slight or stronger turn, the right front brake grabs add though the abs is kicking on. This makes it sometimes hard to steer and make the corner. We had the dealership check the issue and we were told there is nothing wrong. There is most certainly something wrong

    - Lebanon , VA

    When going on left turns feel like it jerks or like the abs is kicking in and I'm not sliding. When this happens it pushes me to the outside of the curve. Has done it since day one of owning it. Bought brand new. Hundreds of people on social media are have the same problem and the refuse to fix it.

    The right wheel and back tire wobbles uncontrollably when making left turns. It's very dangerous. My dealership doesn't know how to fix it.

    while making a left turn the right front brake comes on and causes the steering to shake and the rear to seem to fishtail. the bike has been back to the dealer for repairs several times. the last time it was there 10 months. got it back in march and it was good for almost a month and then it started again. the dealer is trying but can-am doesn't seem to be much help. been in the shop for over 15 months total.

    - sanford, FL

    Bearings in Pitmen Arm are failing. The Bearings are not pressed in and wear out quickly causing binding in the steering and triggering a VSS fault Code. Resulting in the vehicle going to Limp mode. I have seen many Can Am Rykers have this problem. Can Am refuses to Correct the problem. By the way my Ryker only has 1100 Miles on it and it's a 2019. Help before someone gets Killed.
