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.

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.

If you choose to ride before 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 warning label that will be added 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.

Or use the following QR code:

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.
