2010 BRP SEA-DOO Advanced TEC recall: trailer hitch

⚠️ What's wrong

BRP is recalling certain model year 2010 SEA-DOO Advanced TEC trailers manufactured from december 10, 2009 through march 22, 2010. The latching mechanism of a SEA-DOO personal watercraft to an Advanced TEC trailer (known as the icatch) may be misadjusted and not properly secure the front end of the personal watercraft being transported. When this condition exists, it is possible that road oscillations cause the personal watercraft to jump out of the icatch hook part of the mechanism.

💥 The risk

If the rear latching straps are not used to properly secure the back end of the personal watercraft, it may slide off the trailer increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install a safety cable on the front LATCH mechanism, to affix an updated label on the trailer and to give to the owner an updated user guide. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before june 15, 2010. Owners may contact BRP at 1-888-638-5397.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
