If this happens, you may notice changes in engine performance, including: an engine stutter, a significant increase in vibration and a lack of engine power. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine and exhaust system could overheat. This could result in permanent damage to the engine and the vehicle. rnrnSafety Risk: rnThis service campaign helps to prevent the risk of damage that can be caused by an engine misfire. rnNote: This recall is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnCan-Am will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your UTV to a dealer to update the engine software.
