What's wrong?
The fuel pump module on a 2019-2023 Can-Am Ryker moves gasoline from the tank to the engine at the pressure the engine needs to run. Inside that pump is an impeller, a small rotating part that helps push fuel through the pump housing. The pump depends on that impeller spinning freely without rubbing the surrounding housing.
In affected pumps, the impeller was made from a raw material that can swell. Once it swells, it interferes with the pump housing instead of spinning cleanly. That interference can make the high-pressure fuel pump fail, which stops proper fuel delivery to the engine. NHTSA campaign 23V855 ties the safety concern to fuel pump failure on affected Ryker motorcycles.
There is no warning sign before failure. A Ryker can run normally before the pump stops doing its job, so the VIN decides whether this recall applies.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel pump failure can make the engine stall while driving. An engine stall in traffic leaves less time to react and increases the risk of a crash. If the engine stalls, pull over safely and contact a dealer for the inspection and repair. Repair is free at any franchised Can-Am dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2023 Can-Am Ryker is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Can-Am dealer to schedule the free fuel-pump inspection and replacement that fixes the swelling impeller and fuel-pump failure risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Can-Am mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V855 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete, and pull over safely if the engine stalls.
- Call Can-Am customer service at 1-888-272-9222 with questions about recall number 23V855.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Can-Am technician inspects the high-pressure fuel pump and replaces the fuel pump if the inspection shows it needs replacement. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for this issue, contact Bombardier customer service at 1-888-272-9222 and ask how to submit the reimbursement claim under BRP's filed plan. The recall repair still needs to be performed even if you had a prior fuel pump repair.
