Three Transport Canada recall notices currently affect CFMOTO vehicles: 2025222 (UFORCE U10 PRO door latches), 2024333 (ZFORCE 950 shock absorbers), and 2025210 (450 series motorcycle brake lines). If you own one of these models, check your VIN through the CFMOTO Canada recall tool or the Transport Canada database today, then book a free repair at an authorized dealer.
TL;DR:
- Vehicles affected by these recalls include the 2022-2023 ZFORCE 950 shock absorbers and 2023-2025 450 series motorcycles with brake line issues, requiring immediate inspection.
- Owners must verify their VIN on official Canadian recall databases and avoid riding until repairs are completed for safety-critical problems.
- Repairs are free at authorized dealers, who will perform the work upon VIN verification, but owners should keep all documentation, especially if repairs are superseded.
- The recall process involves dealer reinspection and updates in Transport Canada’s database, so rechecking VINs periodically is recommended even after initial repairs.
- For quick service, owners can use the dealer’s VIN check and scheduling, and should record all recall-related information for future reference.

Current Open CFMOTO Recalls in Canada
Canadian owners searching for CFMOTO recalls right now need to know exactly which units are affected and what the risk actually is. Here’s the quick-reference rundown pulled straight from Transport Canada’s active notices.
- Recall 2025222 covers UFORCE U10 PRO Highland and Highland XL models. This notice replaces an earlier recall, 2025060, which Transport Canada found ineffective. The issue is with the door latches, and dealers will inspect and replace them as needed. Owners should not use the UTV until the repair is complete.
- Recall 2024333 applies to 2022 and 2023 ZFORCE 950 side by sides. The shock absorbers can loosen and detach, which creates a real risk of losing vehicle stability mid ride. The fix is straightforward: dealers apply a thread locking compound to secure the hardware. Transport Canada advises against driving the machine until that’s done.
- Recall 2025210 hits 2023 through 2025 model year 450 series motorcycles, including the 450SS and 450NK. The concern is ABS brake line seals that may let air into the braking system, which reduces braking performance when you need it most. Dealers replace the rear brake line washer and bolt free of charge. Again, don’t ride it until the repair is finished.
If your model and year fall into any of these ranges, treat it as urgent rather than routine. A loose shock mount or a compromised brake line isn’t a cosmetic problem. It’s the kind of failure that shows up at the worst possible moment on a trail or a highway on ramp.
How to Check Whether Your CFMOTO Is Affected
Every CFMOTO recall check starts in the same place: your 17-character VIN. On ATVs and UTVs, you’ll typically find it stamped on the frame near the front cargo rack or under the driver’s seat. On motorcycles, check the steering neck or the frame just below the handlebars.
Once you have the VIN, follow these steps:
- Head to the CFMOTO Canada recall page and enter your VIN into the search tool for a manufacturer-specific check.
- Cross-reference the result using the Transport Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, which lets you search by brand, model, or VIN directly.
- Screenshot or save the result page, and write down the exact recall ID (2025222, 2024333, or 2025210) before calling a dealer.
Pro Tip: A 17-character VIN is the only reliable key for a recall search. Model names alone won’t cut it, since a single model can span multiple production runs with different recall statuses.
One more thing worth flagging: don’t lean on international recall lists from the US or elsewhere. CFMOTO’s model years and serial ranges shift by market, so a VIN that’s clean in one country’s database can still be flagged in Canada’s.
What to Do if Your Vehicle Is Under Recall
If your VIN comes back flagged, stop riding the vehicle immediately when the notice says to. That instruction isn’t boilerplate. Transport Canada issues a “do not use” warning specifically when the defect poses a direct safety risk, as it does with the ZFORCE 950 shock mounts and the 450 series brake lines.
Repairs for a genuine safety recall are performed free of charge at authorized dealers, no exceptions and no hidden labor fees. When you book the appointment, bring:
- Your VIN and the specific recall ID
- Any recall notice you received by mail
- Proof of ownership if the dealer requests it
Dealers log completed recall work in their system and typically provide written confirmation. Timelines vary depending on parts availability. If your local dealer has a backlog, ask about being added to a waitlist rather than assuming the recall will resolve itself. It won’t.
How Recall Replacements and Reinspections Work
Recall 2025222 is a textbook example of supersession: Transport Canada issued an earlier fix, 2025060, found it ineffective, and replaced it with a new recall requiring dealer reinspection. If you had earlier recall work done on a UFORCE U10 PRO, that repair may no longer be considered complete.
Transport Canada updates its recall database as new information comes in, so a VIN that was clear six months ago is worth rechecking. Keep your repair receipts and any written recall completion confirmation from the dealer. If a supersession happens later, that paperwork is what proves your vehicle’s repair history when you’re scheduling a follow-up visit or selling the machine.
Dealer Support for Recall Repairs in Canada
Authorized dealers are the only channel that can complete a mandatory recall repair free of charge, and Dirty Birdy Powersports handles exactly this kind of work for CFMOTO owners across the country. Whether you bought your machine from us or somewhere else, we can run a VIN check, confirm which recall applies, and get the repair scheduled.
- We’re a full CFMOTO dealer based in Squamish, BC, offering sales and services to customers nationwide.
- Before your visit, it’s worth reviewing our CFMOTO maintenance schedule so you know what else might need attention while the vehicle is in the shop.
- If you’re troubleshooting an error code alongside a suspected recall issue, our diagnostic codes guide can help you describe the problem accurately when you call.
When you bring a recalled unit in, expect a straightforward inspection, the corrective work performed on the spot in most cases, and written confirmation that the recall has been closed out.
Why Dealer Experience Matters More Than the Fine Print
Riders who actually spend time on these machines tend to spot the difference between a cosmetic notice and a real safety issue faster than a checklist can explain it. That’s the value of buying from and servicing with people who ride what they sell.
A short habit pays off here: log every recall ID and repair date in one place, even a phone note. When a recall gets superseded months later, you’ll know in seconds whether your fix still counts.

Recalls in Canada are administered federally, separate from how CFMOTO handles notices in the US or elsewhere. That means model year overlaps and serial number ranges can differ between markets, so a recall applicable in one country might not apply here, and vice versa.
It also helps to understand the difference between a mandatory recall and a technical service bulletin, or TSB. Recalls require free corrective action under Canada’s regulatory framework. TSBs are advisory, covering things like software updates or minor adjustments that don’t carry the same legal weight. A good dealer tells you about both, but only one is legally mandatory.
