SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
04/28/2012
	Received a recall notice from bombardier recreational products on my 2010 can-am spyder rt se5 concerning possible brake failure. have called the dealer twice and they do not have the repair parts required. the dealer stated they have been waiting for at least 4 weeks for parts to make required repairs but have not received any. there is no expected date when the dealer will receive the parts. the recall letter states, this condition may increase the risk of a crash possibly resulting in injury or death. based on this warning i no longer ride my can-am spyder and the dealer can give me no assistance. what can i do to force bombardier recreational products to honor their recall?
