Can-Am Outlander Pro ATVIf you own a 2023-2026 Can-Am Outlander Pro or Max Pro quad, you should read up about a potential speed limiter control safety issue.Can-Am parent company Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is recalling a range of Can-Am Outlander 500 Pro and 700 Pro and Max Pro ATVs across four model years: 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The reason relates to an issue with Speed Limiter Mode software which may be slightly different depending on the model year involved, but can in all cases potentially cause sudden, unexpected acceleration. This could, in turn, pose a crash hazard, as well as a serious risk of injury and/or death.BRP issued this recall in the US as a Fast Track Recall through the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on May 14, 2026. Approximately 2,820 units are believed to be involved. The recall includes both 2025 and 2026 Outlander 500/700 Pro and Max Pro units equipped with Speed Limiter Mode, as well as 2023 and 2024 Outlander Pro and Max Pro units that have Speed Limiter Mode and also received an ECM software update through their local BRP dealership on or after February 3, 2026.At the time of writing, BRP says it has only received a single field report of a speed limiter failure on one of these units. The rider experienced sudden, unexpected acceleration that flipped the ATV, causing scrapes and bruises. No mention was made of any further injury sustained.AdvertisementAdvertisementIf you're a Can-Am Outlander Pro or Max Pro owner and you're wondering how to tell what model year you have, you can find this information by looking at the VIN, which is located on the front right side of the vehicle's frame.Look at the 10th character in the VIN to help you identify what year it is if you're unsure.
