Front Overload - Risk of Capsizing

Front Overload - Risk of Capsizing

 

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.

 

Which models are involved?
MY22 to MY25 Sea-Doo Switch

 

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

● The procedures will take less than an hour and include:

1. Partial sealant application to specific sections of the hull (not required for Model Year 2025)

2. Adding two on-product warning labels and providing an Operator’s Guide addendum

● BRP also issued a revised safety video. Watch it at: https://sea-doo.com/safety

Parts will gradually be available starting March 3, 2025, and will be released progressively upon availability.

Also, if you choose to ride your MY22 to MY24 watercraft before the sealant application, be aware that your watercraft will be more sensitive to front overload as water evacuation from the hull will not be optimal under specific conditions.
