Front Overload - Risk of Capsizing - Updated Recall (Bulletin 2026-1)

Front Overload - Risk of Capsizing - Updated Recall (Bulletin 2026-1)

Dear Sea-Doo Switch Owner,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with applicable laws. BRP is conducting a safety recall.

Our records show that you own a potentially affected watercraft.

What is the potential problem?

●       Improper distribution of passengers and cargo weight could overload the front of the watercraft and cause instability, nosediving and possibly lead to capsizing. The condition worsens if water evacuation from the hull is not optimal. This could cause serious injuries or even death.

●       This recall replaces Bulletin 2025-4.

●       Your watercraft falls into one of the following two categories:

        ○       It was not previously repaired

        ○       It was already repaired by the dealer 

In ALL situations, this recall must be performed regardless of previous safety recalls completion.

Why do some watercrafts need to be repaired again?

Unfortunately, one component of the previous remedy may not perform to our expectations for durability. The sealant applied on the hull sections needs to be replaced by three gaskets. 
 

Which models are involved?

MY24 Sea-Doo Switch

What will BRP do?

●       BRP will perform this recall at no charge to you (parts and labor).

●       The procedure will take approximately a maximum of 2.5 hours and consist of the following.

1. HULL
   All watercrafts need three gaskets in specific sections of the hull. If your watercraft presently has sealant in those sections, it will be removed prior to the installation of the gaskets.
   
   
2. WARNING LABELS AND OPERATOR’S GUIDE ADDENDUM
   All watercrafts need to have an on-product warning label at two specific locations and an Operator’s Guide addendum which is also available here www.operatorsguides.brp.com/F/996.
   
   If your watercraft is not already equipped with those, the dealer will install the labels and provide you with a paper Operator’s Guide addendum to keep with your Operator’s Guide. 
   
   
3. SAFETY VIDEO
   
   BRP also issued a revised safety video in February 2025. Watch it at: https://sea-doo.com/safety or use the following QR code:

What should YOU do?

Schedule an appointment immediately with any authorized BRP Sea-Doo Switch dealer to have the safety recall repair performed on your unit. To find a dealer, see the end of this letter.

Parts will gradually be available starting November 24, 2025.

For repairs that will be performed before January 31, 2027, BRP representatives will contact you to offer you a gift certificate. 

BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR:

Before every ride, you and your passengers need to get familiar with the warnings and instructions regarding FRONT OVERLOAD and proper passenger and cargo weight distribution.

The required warning label that will be added (or that is already affixed) to your watercraft in two locations is the following:

Read a PDF version of the Operator’s Guide addendum at www.operatorsguides.brp.com/F/996. It will be provided to you as well upon your visit to the dealer, if not already with your Operator’s Guide in your watercraft.

If you choose to ride before the recall repair:

Because BRP needs to inspect or repair the hull, be aware that your watercraft may be more sensitive to front overload as water evacuation from the hull will not be optimal under specific conditions.

What to do if you feel you have received this notice by mistake?

This notice was mailed to you according to the most current information we have available.

If you know the current owner or operator, please forward this letter to them.

If there has been a change of ownership or you have a change of address, please notify BRP so we can update our records accordingly.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; however, we are taking this action to help ensure your safety and continued satisfaction with your watercraft.

We know this is not an ideal situation. Your time is valuable, and we want to ensure you spend as much time as possible on the water.

Sincerely,

BRP Customer Services Department
