Re: iCatch™ System May Not Properly Secured the Personal Watercraft
Dear Sea-Doo
This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act, the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Act and other applicable laws. Bombardier
Recreational Products Inc. and BRP US Inc. (“BRP“) have determined that a defect exists on certain Sea-
Doo AVANCED TEC iCatch trailer models and are conducting a voluntary safety recall.
What is the potential problem?
The latching mechanism of an ADVANCED TEC Trailer (known as the
watercraft ("pwc") may be misadjusted and not properly secure the front end of the pwc being transported.
When this condition exists, it is possible that road oscillations cause the pwc to jump out of the iCatch hook
part of the mechanism. Under those circumstances, if the rear latching straps are not used to properly
secure the back end of the pwc, it may slide off the trailer increasing the risk of a crash possibly resulting in
injury or death.
What should you do?
Call an authorized BRP Sea-Doo ADVANCED TEC trailer dealer and make an appointment to have your
pwc trailer repaired
warning label and provide you a revised user's guide.
What to do if you feel this notice is an error?
This notice was mailed to you according to the most current information we have available. If you no longer
own this trailer or some information in this notice is incorrect, please contact BRP at your earliest
convenience.
For US residents only
If you believe that the dealer or BRP has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time,
you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue S.E. Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Auto Safety Hot Line at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safecar.gov.
For Canadian residents only
If you believe that the notification or correction is inadequate, that the manufacturer fails to correct the
situation in accordance with the notification or it fails or is unable to correct the situation within 60 days, you
may submit a complaint to the Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate of Transport Canada
at 1-800-333-0510.
