The vehicle routinely sets error codes C006C and C0063, which causes the vehicle to loose propulsion and go into a limp-home mode. This is an extremely dangerous situation, as you cannot keep up with traffic which can cause an accident. It also causes the vehicle steering and stability to become erratic and unpredictable. The vehicle will buck and wobble as the ABS, Traction Control and Stability Control all try to engage and fight for control of the vehicle. This is a potentially serious problem and the vehicle...

becomes hard to control and in some cases causes the vehicle to change lanes. To date, this vehicle has been in 6 times for the same problem, with the first incident happening at 671 miles, followed by 5 additional incidents with the current mileage at approximately 2,600 miles. This condition is a well documented and known issue with the Can Am Ryker models, yet Can Am/BRP refuses to step up and proactively pursue a permanent repair for this issue, or even acknowledge that there is a potentially serious problem. In my case, the dealership has been patient and very responsive to trying to fix the issues, but Can Am continues to dismiss the severity of the concerns. I'm left with a vehicle that is unsafe to operate on public roads, and have no confidence in. In the current state, I'm left with a vehicle that is non functional, cannot provide a reliable experience, and cannot be sold due to its current state.

Brake light stays illuminated even when brakes are not engaged. Upon research internet shows this is a recall issue affecting 35,000+ can-am rykers but when I contact my dealer they say that it is not a recall. Can someone please look into this? I believe it should absolutely be a recall and fixed at no cost.
**Re: Safety Complaint - New 2026 Can-Am Ryker Rally 900 ACE** I am submitting this complaint regarding a newly purchased 2026 Can-Am Ryker Rally 900 ACE and a potentially serious safety concern that occurred during the vehicle's initial trip home from the dealership, Redline Powersports in [[redacted]].

approximately $10,638, with additional charges including approximately $1,995 for freight, $1,950 for dealer preparation, $552 for accessories, $399 in administrative fees not including Reg/Tax. I am reviewing whether all pricing and additional charges were adequately explained and disclosed. My immediate concern, however, is **vehicle safety**. My neighbor drove the new Ryker while I followed behind in another vehicle. I, personally, observed a **visible cloud of white smoke coming from or immediately behind the vehicle while it was being operated**. The rider also reported a **burning smell** while operating the Ryker. The vehicle reached approximately 60 mph during the trip. I am concerned that there may have been a mechanical, exhaust, fluid, cooling, electrical, assembly, or other defect present when the vehicle was delivered. I am requesting that this incident be documented as a safety complaint involving a new 2026 Can-Am Ryker Rally 900 ACE. Given my concerns about the original transaction, I would prefer, if possible, to have the vehicle evaluated by another authorized Can-Am/BRP dealer or otherwise obtain an independent diagnosis of the white smoke and burning odor.
