Chronology of events

1. May 2025

   In May 2025, BRP received 3 cases of Drive Belt Lower Idler Support failures including one loss of propulsion. BRP started its analysis to understand the root causes of the failure. It was found that after a failure of the support in physical testing a decision was made to change the part material from the start of production. However, the drawing revision failed to reflect this change and maintained the initial material.

2. June 2025

   In June 2025, BRP received 2 additional cases. With all the information collected and analyzed, BRP decided on June 27, 2025, that it had enough information to report and wants to proceed with a safety recall on the identified population of vehicles. BRP has 5 reported failure cases worldwide (4 in the US) as of June 27, 2025 but no report of accident nor injury.
