What's wrong?
The iCATCH latching mechanism on the 2010 Brp Sea-Doo Advanced Tec trailer is the front hold-down point for the personal watercraft. When the watercraft is loaded, the latch is supposed to catch and hold the front end so the watercraft stays secured to the trailer during transport.
On affected trailers, that latch was misadjusted. The hook portion of the iCATCH mechanism does not properly secure the front of the personal watercraft. Road movement during towing then lets the watercraft move upward and jump out of the hook, leaving the front end unsecured while the trailer is on the road.
There is no warning sign before failure. Before towing, make sure the front latch is fully engaged and holds the watercraft firmly; if it does not, stop using the trailer until the latch is inspected and repaired.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the rear latching straps are not used correctly, the back end of the personal watercraft can slide off the trailer and increase the risk of a crash. Before towing, confirm the rear straps are tight and schedule the recall repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Brp dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Brp Sea-Doo Advanced Tec trailer is included in this recall.
- Use BRP's owner letter to contact a franchised Brp dealer about the free repair path.
- Ask for the safety-cable, updated-label, and user-guide service that helps the iCATCH front latch secure the personal watercraft.
- Reference recall number 10V188 when you call the dealer or BRP customer service.
- Use the rear latching straps every time you tow until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Because the remedy status is not listed as available, treat the dealer repair as pending until Brp or the dealer confirms the campaign is open. Once available, a Brp technician will install a safety cable on the front latch mechanism, add the updated trailer label, and provide the updated owner guide. The filing said this recall service was expected to begin on June 15, 2010. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V188?
Recall 10V188 covers 1,131 2010 Brp Sea-Doo Advanced Tec trailers with an iCATCH front latch that can be misadjusted and fail to secure the personal watercraft during transport. Brp dealers install a safety cable, update the trailer label, and provide an updated user guide for free.
What should I do if my 2010 Brp Sea-Doo Advanced Tec is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 10V188. If it is, use the rear latching straps every time you transport the personal watercraft, then contact a franchised Brp dealer to schedule the safety cable installation and label update.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Brp says dealers will install the safety cable, affix the updated trailer label, and provide the updated user guide free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is that the personal watercraft can slide off the trailer during transport if the iCATCH front latch is misadjusted and the rear latching straps are not used. That creates a crash risk for the tow vehicle and other road users.
What if I bought this trailer used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2010 Brp Sea-Doo Advanced Tec trailer is included, and reference recall 10V188 when you call the dealer.
