| Brp of canada makes & sells their can-am spyder three wheeled trike motorcycle in the united states. it is well known by this vehicle's owners that this trike produces a large amount of heat which is directed at the drivers right side foot rest area making it an extremely hot area on said vehicle. since this is also where the only method of braking the vehicle resides, i believe it is a safety hazard and have been trying ( unsuccessfully ) to get the brp can-am people to correct this before someone is permanently injured. they have declined my efforts and request for a fix to this issue in a letter i received. spoke with a ms. natasha 1-888-272-9222 at brp regarding my case # 3963154 on a couple of occasions and received a letter from her dated 30-jan-2013 stating that the dealership ( central florida power sports - kissimmee florida ) has examined the trike and determined that the vehicle is functioning within the manufacturers guidelines. i told her that i strongly believe this to be a design flaw as well as being a safety issue. | |||
