Can-Am ATVs Recalled After Speed Limiter Failure Flips Vehicle
In May 2026, BRP recalled approximately 2,820 Can-Am Outlander Pro and Max Pro All-Terrain Vehicles after the CPSC linked the ATV’s Speed Limiter Mode to a defect that can cause unexpected speed and acceleration. The recall was issued under CPSC recall number 26-482.
According to the CPSC, the speed limiter control can malfunction, resulting in sudden acceleration of the ATV. This poses a serious risk of injury or death from a crash hazard.
BRP has received 1 report of a speed limiter failure that resulted in sudden acceleration and flipped the ATV, leaving the rider with scrapes and bruises.
What is the Problem?
The ATVs have a “Speed Limiter Mode,” which is designed to cap how fast the ATV can travel. This feature is used by many types of users, for example: parents allowing teen riders, ATV training programs, or riders who are new to high-displacement ATVs.
When the speed limiter malfunctions and the ATV unexpectedly accelerates, a rider who is not prepared for full power has very little time to react before losing control. The CPSC describes the hazard as follows:
“The ATV’s speed limiter control can malfunction, causing unexpected speed and acceleration, posing a serious risk of injury or death from crash hazard.”
How Many People Were Injured?
As of the recall announcement, BRP has received 1 report of injury. The reported incident involved a speed limiter failure that caused sudden acceleration and flipped the ATV. The rider reported scrapes and bruises.
The CPSC has not confirmed any deaths or hospitalizations connected to this defect, but warns that the malfunction poses a “serious risk of injury or death from crash hazard.” If you were injured in a Can-Am Outlander Pro or Max Pro crash that may have involved the Speed Limiter Mode, our lawyers want to hear from you.
