# Service bulletins for the 2012 CAN\-AM Spyder

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

36 bulletins from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

- [Posting 10\-15](/bulletins/10129608.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL. Technical service Tip \(TST\) informing the community that it has come to BRP's attention that water pump mechanical seal failures have risen in recent weeks. In the event that dealers have a Spyder leak from the weep hole \(oil or coolant\), BRP would like to have more information.
- [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.
- [Article 10\-25\(2\)](/bulletins/10129605.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD. Technical Service Tip \(TST\) informing dealers that BRP has noticed an increase in claims for the RT hood actuator switch. Switch inspection reveals the contact points inside the switch are exposed to high amperage. This causes an intermittent or permanently bad contact. The dealers are informed to inspect the hood actuator itself to see if the lever it pushes against is in\-line and not obstructed. This could also happen if the front cargo is over packed and the pressure pressing up against the mechanism is beyond what the actuator can push and the switch gets too much amperage.
- [Article 10\-25](/bulletins/10129604.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: ENGINE. Technical Service Tip \(TST\) addressing that on some SE5 engines a high pitched or whining noise may be heard under specific RPM only. After investigation the cause of this noise is from a thrust washer vibrating and spinning in the HCM. Inspection of the HCM housing for wear is proposed; it may need to be replaced.
- [Posting 12\-13](/bulletins/10129602.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. Posting informing the community that some of them may have seen an alert from Transport Canada regarding a recall on certain Spyder models. \(recall 2012\-13\)
- [Article 2012\-13](/bulletins/10129601.md), 2018-03-05, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. Article informing dealers of Safety Campaign 2012\-13 \- Fuel Cap replacement. The fuel cap may not seal properly the fuel tank filler neck. Fuel vapors in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
- [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/10126524.md), 2017-12-22, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. 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.
- [Bulletin 2012\-12](/bulletins/10125477.md), 2017-12-14, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM.

- [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. ?
