We're well into the snowmobile season, and we know you're eager to get out and ride.
The supply chain situation is improving, and we appreciate your patience as we make final preparations to deliver 2023 snowmobiles. The information and timelines previously provided below are still the most accurate and up to date.
- Delivery Delays Update: For MY23 snowmobiles, nearly all certificates will be delivered by the end of January 2023. Unfortunately, there are still a small number of sleds that will not arrive at dealerships until February, 2023. However, most vehicles should arrive complete and ready for PDI.
- Missing Components: As the supply chain continues improving, most snowmobiles should arrive without missing components.
* RF D.E.S.S. Key: While the microchip supply chain situation slowly improves, we have a limited amount of RF D.E.S.S. posts for our 2022 and 2023 Ski-Doo vehicles. To restore all functionalities of the RF D.E.S.S. on your vehicle, please contact your dealer to schedule an appointment. - Feature Adjustments: Summit Edge, Summit SP and Backcountry X/X-RS will only be available with an electric start due to the limited availability of SHOT and manual start for those models. If you pre-ordered one of these units, your dealer will contact you shortly to provide a detailed update. We apologize for adjusting some of these orders, but this is the best option to get as many riders on the snow as soon as possible this winter.
- Parts, Accessories & Apparel: Due to supply challenges, we've experienced some situations that prevent us from delivering your Snowmobile Parts, Accessories and Apparel as initially planned. Please contact your dealer for further information about your order.
We understand you'd like to have more precise timing or information for your own delivery. Your dealer remains the main point of contact for specific questions regarding your order. We were able to restore our systems from backup repositories following the cybersecurity incident on August 8, 2022. We apologize if you've experienced a delay in getting the information you needed over the last few weeks but as of now, everything is back to normal.
We’ll continue to do our best to share new information with you and our dealers as it becomes available. Our customer care team is also here for you if you have any other questions at 1-888-272-9222. We sincerely appreciate your patience and continued trust in the Ski-Doo brand.
HERE is the last message of our President and CEO José Boisjoli on March 31 about all the measures we took to deliver your orders despite all the challenges we are facing.
Frequently Asked Questions
As you are aware, pricing has increased for many products across industries around the world and Powersports is no exception. BRP has explored various ways to accommodate the disruptions while maintaining a steady flow of production and material sourcing, transportation of parts and vehicles as well as how we assemble each and every unit. Please Note: The pricing adjustments will not impact customers who purchased a snowmobile through the Spring Sales Event between February 14 and March 31. Additionally, there will be no pricing impact on the youth MXZ 120/200 models or the entry-level models MXZ and Summit Neo/Neo+. Keep in mind there will remain a temporary commodity surcharge in addition to the adjusted price.
Delayed Components: These are parts that did not ship with the vehicle due to supply chain challenges and are essential to make your vehicle run properly. BRP will ship these components separately to the dealership as soon as they’re available. Once a dealership receives all delayed components from BRP for your vehicle, they will complete the assembly and deliver it to you.
Permanent Feature Change: This is a permanent change to the original vehicle specifications, however, you can receive your vehicle and ride it as planned. No additional modifications by the dealership will occur.
Temporary Missing Feature: You can receive and use your vehicle immediately while you wait for these non-essential missing component(s) to ship to the dealership. The dealer will let you know when parts become available and will install the temporary missing feature(s) free of charge.
Yes. BRP's supply chain continues to be impacted by two factors during the pandemic: rising raw material costs and increased shipping costs. Because of rising costs, BRP has put in place a commodity surcharge for Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo, Lynx, Can-Am Off-Road and Can-Am On-Road vehicles.
B.E.S.T. Extended Service still offers you peace of mind warranty extended service. Until March 31, 2022, we offered a promotion of one (1) year of regular warranty plus (1) year of B.E.S.T. coverage with the Spring Sales Event. If you would like additional coverage, we offer options for purchase at your dealership. See here for more information on B.E.S.T.
We know having adventures and creating memories with our products is important, and we apologize that this delay might impact your plans.

We’ll communicate updates to your dealer as they become available.
We apologize for this delay, which is related to the global shortage of supplies as well as high demand and logistics challenges.
