Can-Am Recalls

Check open Can-Am recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.

How Can-Am recall lookups work

When you enter a Can-Am VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Can-Am dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.

Why check Can-Am recalls before buying used?

A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Can-Am authorized dealer after purchase.

Notable past Can-Am recall campaigns

A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.

NHTSA campaign 19V683000

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

2019-2020 Can-Am Ryker

The wheel nuts on certain Rykers may crack, letting a wheel gradually loosen while riding. A loose wheel can cause a loss of control and a crash. BRP dealers replace the wheel nuts at no charge; the campaign began in October 2019.

NHTSA campaign 23V855000

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

2019-2023 Can-Am Ryker

The fuel-pump impeller may swell and cause the high-pressure fuel pump to fail, which can stall the engine mid-ride and increase crash risk. Dealers inspect and replace the fuel pump as needed at no charge; owner letters went out in February 2024.

What CheckMyVIN does not do

Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Can-Am also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
