I purchased my Ryker in June of 2022. Since my purchase I have been dealing with a death wobble in the front during left turns, a serious wobble in the rear during left turns, and continuous vss fault/Limp home mode failure. I reported the issue to the dealer and they attempted to correct the issue, but it has continued to fail. I contacted BRP the parent company, and they refused to respond. There have been 2 safety recalls and I am no longer feeling safe to ride the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 CAN-AM Ryker. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in a severe thunderstorm, he attempted to engage the turn signals to notify other drivers that he was switching lanes however, he discovered that the motorcycle had no turn signals. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the Year, Make, and Model of the motorcycle manufactured to be sold in the USA were designed without turn signals. The contact also stated that the exhaust of the motorcycle burnt his legs since there was no heat guard installed on the motorcycle. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the motorcycle was not designed to be driven for long distances. The contact stated there were no screws between the wheels and the vendor. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, he had to reduce his speed to approximately 20 MPH, to prevent the motorcycle from losing traction control. Additionally, the glove box would become extremely hot while riding presenting a concern that important documents inside might become damaged by the heat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a recall repair however, the motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,400.
During a turn the handlebars became loose during steering. While steering the handlebars twisted counter clockwise (this was a left hand turn) approximately 30 degrees. After pulling them back into place, they were still approximately 3 degrees off center. This happened before the bike had even 200 miles on it. My safety was put at risk by not having full steering capabilities. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they realigned and tightened the bolt down. There were no warning lamps, or indicators of any electrical or mechanical nature to indicate a bolt was loose.
Vss fault with limp home mode came on when attempting to get on a highway with speeds greater than 55 MPH, this was the first attempt. Brought it back to the dealer and they spent a couple days figuring it in the service dept. They said bad yaw sensor. So a day later getting onto a road with speeds of 50mph it kicks into limp home mode and vss fault. Then 3rd time just left the shop was 3 miles away it did it again. Thank god not on a highway. But getting out on to a road from a stop and it cuts out and into limp home mode and vss fault. All the codes are the same. C006c c0063. 3 times I almost got hit by another vehicle because of this new can-am ryker has issues. And it continues. Brp is not helping their dealers and dealer technicians to fix these problems. My dealer who sold me my brand new 2022 can am ryker 600 ace, have gone above and beyond, they have given me a loaner vehicle to use. But brp is not helping them resolve the issues. These units are getting dangerous.
