Latest Updates
On May 14, 2026, BRP US Inc. of Sturtevant, Wisconsin announced a voluntary recall of approximately 2,820 Can-Am Outlander Pro and Max Pro ATVs in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) [1]. One injury has been reported in connection with this recall.
What Products Are Affected?
The recall covers two groups of Can-Am ATVs. The first group includes model year 2025 and 2026 Can-Am Outlander 500 or 700 Pro and Max Pro ATVs equipped with Speed Limiter Mode. The second group includes model year 2023 and 2024 Can-Am Outlander Pro and Max Pro ATVs equipped with Speed Limiter Mode that received an Engine Control Module (ECM) software update at a dealership on or after February 3, 2026.
The recalled ATVs were sold in Tan, Green, Camo, and Gray. The model year can be identified by the 10th character of the vehicle’s 17-digit VIN: P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025, T = 2026. The VIN label is located on the front right side of the vehicle frame, and the model name “OUTLANDER PRO” is displayed on the vehicle’s front side with “Can-Am” branding on the left rear fender. The affected ATVs were sold at authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealers from March 2023 through April 2026 for between $8,000 and $13,000. They were manufactured in Mexico and imported by BRP US Inc.
What Is the Hazard?
The Speed Limiter Mode on the recalled ATVs can malfunction, causing the vehicle to accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly. Unexpected acceleration on a powerful off-road ATV can cause the rider to lose control of the vehicle, leading to a serious crash, rollover, or ejection — any of which can result in severe injury or death.
Incidents and Injuries
BRP has received one report of the Speed Limiter Mode failing and causing sudden acceleration. That incident caused the ATV to flip, resulting in scrapes and bruises to the rider.
What Caused the Recall?
The recall was triggered by a software defect in the ATV’s Engine Control Module that affects the Speed Limiter Mode function. Under certain conditions, the ECM software can cause the vehicle to accelerate beyond the intended speed limit, depriving the rider of control. The defect affects certain model years as manufactured, as well as 2023 and 2024 model year ATVs that received a specific ECM software update at a dealership on or after February 3, 2026.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers who own a recalled Can-Am Outlander Pro or Max Pro ATV should immediately stop using the Speed Limiter Mode and contact an authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealer to schedule a free repair. The repair involves a software update to the ECM and takes less than one hour at the dealership.

Can I File a Lawsuit?
Consumers who own or purchased the recalled Can-Am Outlander Pro or Max Pro ATV — particularly those who were injured in a crash caused by sudden, unexpected acceleration — may have significant legal options. A class action lawsuit could allow affected riders to seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and other related losses.
