Expensive mistake on their part, between being ripe for a class action lawsuit, I have to believe a recall to fix these is in order and the bad PR, not good. To bad I was always under the impression that BRP did a better build than the competition.

It does surprise me these things are not outfitted for positive floation especially since the way people play with them swamping them seems common.
Well, I think the class action lawsuit and recall might depend on how many had the issue. What is the percentage of failures out of the number of PWCs they have made? I would venture to guess it is a fairly small percentage.
And the Sea Doos DO have positive flotation. There are styrofoam panels throughout the hull, especially in the front storage compartment. I know this because I have a Sea Doo.
