## What is wrong

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. \(BRP\) is recalling certain model year 2008\-2012 Can\-Am Spyder GS, RS, and RT series vehicles.  The fuel cap may not fit onto the fuel tank filler neck, preventing it from sealing properly.


## What can happen

If the fuel cap does not seal properly, it may leak fuel vapors.  Fuel vapors in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and personal injury.


## The remedy

BRP will notify owners and send them a replacement fuel cap, free of charge.  The safety recall is expected to begin in mid\-January 2013.  Owners may contact BRP AT 1\-888\-638\-5397.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
