How a Can-Am VIN works
Can-Am is the powersports brand of BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products). Road-registered three-wheelers (Spyder, Ryker) and off-road vehicles registered for trail use carry a 17-character VIN under the ISO 3779 standard: positions 1–3 are the manufacturer identifier, 4–8 the model and configuration descriptor, position 9 the check digit, position 10 the model year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the sequential number.
Can-Am stamps the VIN on the frame. On Maverick and Defender side-by-sides it is typically on a frame rail; on the Spyder and Ryker it is on the frame near the front. The engine (Rotax, also a BRP brand) carries its own serial number, which is distinct from the vehicle VIN. Read the stamped frame VIN and confirm it matches the title or MSO.
Decode vs. history: what the VIN can and can't tell you
Decoding a Can-Am VIN reveals the factory build — year, model and plant. It won't show what happened after the sale. Off-road vehicles are common theft targets, so running the VIN through a history and theft check (NMVTIS and state records where the machine is titled) is worth doing before you buy.
