Can-Am Origin Dual-Sport Recall: NHTSA 26V575 Cluster Fix — Owner Letters Oct 12

If you ride a Can-Am Origin or Pulse, the useful date on the calendar is **October 12, 2026** — when BRP’s owner notification letters for NHTSA campaign 26V575000 are expected to mail. This is not a first-day scoop; it is an owner-action window on a software recall that already sits in the federal record.

Per NHTSA, Bombardier Recreational Products is recalling about **14,014** motorcycles equipped with a touchscreen instrument cluster — certain **2025–2026 Can-Am Origin** and **Can-Am Pulse**, **2025–2027 Can-Am Canyon**, and **2024–2027 Can-Am Spyder RT** and **Spyder F3** units. The cluster **may reset, freeze, or go blank**, which fails FMVSS **123** (motorcycle controls and displays) and FMVSS **122** (motorcycle brake systems). An inoperative cluster can hide speed and warning lights and raise crash risk.

What BRP says is going wrong

BRP’s published owner notices for this campaign (dated September 15, 2026) add useful detail beyond the NHTSA summary: depending on USB and Bluetooth usage, a communication failure or memory leak in the instrument cluster can cause a temporary reset, freeze, or persistently blank screen. Physical telltales still work. During a cluster reset, **turn signals and hazard lights can temporarily deactivate or fail to respond** — which matters in traffic and on dual-sport road connectors as much as it does on a Spyder freeway run.

Dual-sport core: Origin and Pulse

Trail Roamer’s focus is the electric dual-sport pair. NHTSA’s campaign population includes **Origin** and **Pulse** for model years **2025–2026**. BRP’s motorcycles owner notice lists **MY25–MY26 Pulse** on that page; Origin still appears in the federal campaign — **verify your VIN on NHTSA.gov/recalls** either way. Spyder RT/F3 and Canyon sit in the same campaign ID but are out-of-core for this dual-sport desk card; see BRP’s 3-wheel notice if that is your bike.

Free fix: OTA or dealer

The remedy is a free instrument-cluster **software** update — over-the-air or at an authorized BRP Can-Am dealer. BRP’s motorcycle notice says the update path targets **BRP Connect V6.0.0 or higher**, with software available starting **September 16, 2026**, and a typical download/install window of about **10–20 minutes**. OTA needs a **2.4 GHz** Wi-Fi network (not 5.0 GHz); phone hotspots should use maximize-compatibility / 2.4 GHz band settings, and network name/password should avoid special characters. Prefer dealer install if OTA fails. BRP customer service: **1-888-272-9222** (8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. ET, seven days).

VIN timing and letters

NHTSA’s remedy text: VINs involved become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning **September 22, 2026**; owner notification letters expected mailed **October 12, 2026**. Manufacturer recall numbers cited in the filing: **2027-2** and **2026-3**. Report-received date on the NHTSA record is July 9, 2026 — the October letter drop is the rider-facing clock, not the filing stamp.

Rider takeaway

Run your VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls if you own a 2025–2026 Origin or Pulse with the touchscreen cluster. Apply the free OTA update (or book a dealer) before you treat the dash as gospel on a long dual-sport day — especially if the screen has already frozen or blanked on you. Watch the mailbox around October 12, and keep the work order if a dealer installs the patch.
