IllustrationBrake light stays illuminated even when brakes are not engaged. Upon research internet shows this is a recall issue affecting 35,000+ can-am rykers but when I contact my dealer they say that it is not a recall. Can someone please look into this? I believe it should absolutely be a recall and fixed at no cost.
