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.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10129605-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10129605-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10129605","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"CAN-AM","model":"SPYDER RT","year_from":2010,"year_to":2013,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2010_can-am_spyder","2011_can-am_spyder","2012_can-am_spyder","2013_can-am_spyder"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
