What's wrong?
The front brake caliper support on the 2025 Can-Am Origin is the mounting piece that holds the front brake caliper in position. The caliper squeezes the brake pads against the front rotor when you use the brake lever. The support has to stay rigid so braking force goes into the wheel and tire instead of bending or cracking the mount.
On affected motorcycles, an error in BRP's engineering stress calculations left the front brake caliper support with less fatigue margin than intended. Repeated hard braking or emergency braking can stress the support until it fails. On-road tires can accelerate the problem because they increase grip and let the motorcycle generate harder braking loads than the original dual-purpose tires.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the support fails, the front brake can become inoperative, leaving the rider without normal front-brake stopping force.

What's the safety risk?
Front brake failure reduces the rider's ability to slow or stop and increases the risk of a crash or injury. Until the repair is complete, ride cautiously, leave extra stopping room, and contact a Can-Am dealer promptly if braking feels abnormal. Repair is free at any franchised Can-Am dealer.
