Checking your own vehicle

A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3 built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, on the frame, usually near the footwell or under the seat, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.

Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the vehicle is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
