2021 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade ATVs Recalled for Crash Hazard

BRP is recalling about 4,600 model year 2021 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade ATVs because the steering knuckle can detach from the lower arm, causing loss of control and crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Although one incident was reported, no injuries resulted. The hazard is a structural defect (steering knuckle detachment) that poses a risk of crash and loss of control. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported fall into the High category (score 3).
