This page covers 4 recalls and 33 owner complaints for the 2022 Can-Am Ryker.
Steering-related faults are the dominant pattern owners report for the 2022 Can-Am Ryker. Owners frequently describe the vehicle triggering a VSS fault and dropping into limp mode, which caps speed and leaves riders stranded mid-ride. The fault appears tied to the steering rate or yaw sensor, and multiple owners report that dealer visits and even a manufacturer-recommended steering upgrade fail to clear the problem permanently. A related symptom reported across several complaints is a wheel wobble or lurching, bucking behavior during left-hand turns, particularly at moderate to higher speeds, sometimes accompanied by an abrupt surge of power. The electrical system draws the next-highest complaint volume, with owners describing unexpected stalls and unintended shutdowns that can recur after restarting. The limp-mode episodes and turn-related instability are the two most consistently repeated themes across this complaint set.

By System
The 2022 Can-Am Ryker has 4 recalls, the most serious being three separate issues that can each cause the engine to stall or steering to fail while riding, raising the risk of a crash.
Two recalls address engine stall risks from different sources. The fuel pump's impeller can swell and cause the pump to stop delivering fuel, cutting power without warning. Separately, wiring in the front fenders for the position lights and turn signals can work loose and rub against the tire, wearing through the insulation and shorting the electrical system in a way that also kills the engine. A third recall, specific to 2022 models, involves the handlebar stem bolt, which can break due to insufficient thread engagement, causing sudden and complete loss of steering control. The fourth recall covers brake lights that stay on even when the rider is not pressing the brake pedal, giving following drivers no reliable signal of when the Ryker is actually slowing down.
