Can-Am warranty for ATVs & side-by-sides
The short version
Can-Am covers ATVs & side-by-sides in full for 1 year, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is the same as most of the 5 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Can-Am's published warranty, checked October 2026.

Good to know before you buy
- Must be bought new from an authorized Can-Am dealer, who registers it for you.
- Stop riding and tell a Can-Am dealer within 3 days of noticing a problem.
- Racing or performance-harming modifications void the warranty, even by a previous owner.
- Remaining coverage moves to a new owner if the dealer or BRP is told of the sale.
