In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The recalled vehicles are identified by their model names, “OUTLANDER PRO,” displayed on the front side, and “Can-Am” branding on the rear fender. The specific model year can be determined by the 10th character of the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), where P indicates 2023, R signifies 2024, S denotes 2025, and T represents 2026. The VIN label is located on the front right side of the vehicle’s frame, with the VIN also stamped on the front member on the right side. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has noted one reported incident where a speed limiter failure caused sudden acceleration, resulting in the ATV flipping and the rider sustaining minor injuries including scrapes and bruises.
Consumers who own the affected Can-Am ATVs are advised to immediately cease using the Speed Limiter Mode. To address the hazard, an authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealer can perform a free repair that involves a software update. This update is expected to take less than one hour. To locate a dealer, consumers can visit the provided Can-Am website for their region. For further information or to schedule the repair, individuals can contact BRP toll-free at 888-272-9222 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, seven days a week, or find additional details on the safety recalls section of the Can-Am website.
