Wow... good news... except I did not purchase my RXT in CA... So hopefully there is action / hope for the rest of the country?

Will it eventually include Sport Boats and will this action carry over into the other 49 States ? This appears to be a step in the right direction.

If they agreed to a proposed settlement than its a given they really don't want to release all of their internal findings and test plans which would likely show failures into evidence. At the same time the actual failures vs number of machines was worth the risk at the time I'm sure and they banked on most of this happening outside of normal warranty period where it would be much easier to wash their hands of it.

Getcha popcorn ready...this could get interesting for BRP .

Agree....

Next up... hopefully some action for bad valves in 2004 and 2005.. Just dropped a valve and toasted my engine.

The settlement covers only 4-Tec Series Sea-Doos purchased in California. BRP chose not to include all affected boats nationwide. If you purchased one of the models in another state, I suggest you voice your complaint to Sea-Doo at the following address:

Or call them at: 715-848-4957
Encourage others to demand a similar settlement for ALL of its loyal customers.

now is this only for original owners or any owner of the boats those years purchased in cali?

Beware any 2008 Wake owners....my supercharger failed 2 weeks ago due to the ceramic washers. The bearings went into the engine and cracked the block and it was less than 1 month OUT of warranty!

The factory has agreed to give me a new engine but wants me to pay the $2k in labor which I am planning on fighting. Although the settlement only goes through 2007, I would contact them if I had a 2008 to see if they will replace old superchargers with the new ones with titanium washers.

The washers are a known issue, and if you own a 2008 and earlier seadoo... they need changed immediately !!!!!


Now... for the guys who what to move that lawsuit to the other states, and/or other models... the precedence has been set, and they lost. A new lawsuit will move though easy based off that judgement.
