NHTSA recall 12V582000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Bombardier recreational products Inc. (brp) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 can-am Spyder gs, rs, and rt series vehicles. The fuel cap may not fit onto the fuel tank filler neck, preventing it from sealing properly.
Why it matters: If the fuel cap does not seal properly, it may leak fuel vapors. Fuel vapors in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and personal injury.
The fix: Brp will notify owners and send them a replacement fuel cap, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin in mid-January 2013.
