- [B2012\-10](/bulletins/10185875.md), 2021-01-25, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE \(ECU/ECM\):SOFTWARE. To be performed at PDI on registered \(sold\) vehicles.
- [Article Radio di](/bulletins/10129606.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Technical Service Tip \(TST\) informing dealers that It has been brought to BRP's attention that in some cases the radio station display option in the cluster will revert to "no display" after a few days. BRP is looking into the situation. This issue has been identified as a software problem between the cluster and the radio module. At this time replacement of parts is not the solution since they all have the problem.
- [Bulletin 2012\-12](/bulletins/10126525.md), 2017-12-22, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Warranty bulletin addressing the problem that analog fuel gauge needle does not have any dampening causing a variable fuel level reading. Replacing the analog fuel gauge with a new improved one \(with stepper motor\) is required. After fuel gauge installation, update the cluster software.
- [Article 10\-23](/bulletins/10125476.md), 2017-12-14, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Technical Service Tip \(TST\) in reference to quality warranty bulletin 2012\-12. If the analog fuel gauge with stepper motor is installed with an old version of the cluster software or on a 2010 RT with a cluster which cannot be updated, the following situations may be observed: ? Fuel level is displayed in the cluster digital display. ? Wrong fuel level. ? Even if the fuel tank is full, the digital display may show 3 bars and the analog fuel gauge shows half. ? The "low fuel" indicator turns on when the fuel tank reaches half. ? The temperature gauge needle indicates maximum \(overheat\) even if the engine is cold.

BRP: SOME MOTORCYCLES EXPERIENCE DAMAGE TO THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR, LEADING TO LIMP HOME MODE OR FAULT CODES WHEN STARTING ENGINE; THE TCM AND ECM SOFTWARE NEEDS UPDATING DUE TO SENSITIVE CALIBRATION WARNING DISPLAY IN CLUSTER; MIDDLE SIDE RUBBER PANELS GROMMETS FALLS OFF AFTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLING, MULTIPLE TIMES, PANEL. \*PE
- [SB\-2012\-14](/bulletins/10055107.md), 2014-04-10, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. ROADSTER: FOR SOME MOTORCYCLES, INFORMATIONAL PROCEDURE IS PROVIDED REGARDING THE ECM SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH IS OPTIONAL AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. \*PE
