This page covers 3 recalls and 39 owner complaints for the 2019 Can-Am Ryker.
Complaints about the 2019 Can-Am Ryker cluster most heavily around the wheels and steering. On the wheel side, owners frequently describe a wobble or instability felt through the front or rear, sometimes accompanied by a VSS fault code. Steering complaints center on the handlebars going off-center after hitting a bump, with several owners noting the column feels structurally loose and drifts left or right unpredictably. The two problems often appear together, suggesting a related feel to the instability. Brakes draw the next-highest complaint volume, where owners describe the stability control cutting power and applying the right brake during low-speed left turns, producing a lurching or jumping sensation that doesn't occur on comparable right turns. A smaller number of owners report the vehicle entering limp mode around highway speeds, capping output and reducing top speed unexpectedly.

By System
The 2019 Can-Am Ryker has 3 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with each one capable of causing an engine stall or loss of vehicle control that raises the risk of a crash.
Two recalls involve stalling: the high-pressure fuel pump's impeller can swell and cause the pump to fail, cutting power while riding, and the electrical harnesses for the position lights and turn signals in the front fenders can work loose and rub against the tire, causing a short circuit that also kills the engine. On the wheel side, the wheel nuts can crack and allow the wheels to loosen, which can cause the rider to lose control of the vehicle.
