2025 Can-Am Origin and Pulse Electric Motorcycle Battery Recall

NHTSA is recalling 2025 Can-Am Origin and Pulse electric motorcycles because a faulty breather valve may allow water into the battery, risking fire or loss of power.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (battery thermal management) that explicitly poses a risk of battery fire and injury, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is recalling certain 2025 Can-Am Origin and Pulse electric motorcycles. The recall involves 478 vehicles where the breather valve may not seal properly, allowing moisture or water to enter the high-voltage battery.

Water intrusion into the battery can result in a loss of drive power, which increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, this condition could lead to a battery fire while the vehicle is parked or being ridden, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will install a new protection plate or replace the breather valve if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 2, 2025. Owners may contact BRP customer service at 1-888-272-9222 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
