Official summary

Technical service Tip (TST) informing the community that it has come to BRP's attention that water pump mechanical seal failures have risen in recent weeks. In the event that dealers have a Spyder leak from the weep hole (oil or coolant), BRP would like to have more information.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
