It is really hard to say how many rear diffs have issues. I suspect there are a lot more Commanders sold than there are members of Forums. Also very few people without the issues will say they do not have them. My dealer replaced mine however it was not until they practically rebuilt it and it still had issues. It was however covered under warranty.

BRP replaced my rear diff a couple of weeks ago, well I mean they gave me the diff & I had to install it. But I'm fine with that. I've had my X since Oct 2010 and warranty ran out Oct 2011. I think it's mostly how good your dealer is as well, I talked to my dealer a couple of times in the past about how loud it was at fast speeds but they thought it was normal since basically they all are like that. Anyways, brp gave me a #506 this time instead of the #411 - Just cruising through the neighborhood it still sounds loud but don't know for sure until I get it out in a couple of weeks.

Have any of you takled to brp about the cab heat problem? I have tried and all I get is the run a round from them and the dealer were I bought it. I was told to get a hold of the area sales rep and talk to him. Does any body have any answers for the cab heat proble? It makes me mad that can am cant seem to take care of there customers when they have a problem. I have had my cammander for about 9 mounths now and cant get a answer from them.

I was told that it is comon for the can am rear end to wine .When I had my can am atv's my wifes had a lot of noise were my atv that was the same size ,year and everything didnt have the noise. Mine also seemed to be faster and loser like in a higher gear or something.It wasnt were eather one of them went because where her machine was rode mine went rode also. now with the camander it has the noise also I hoped it would have been like my atv but its not. The dealer here says it is the belt and thats how it is. nice hu?

The Commander is going to have some rear end noise due to it using straight cut gears in the rear diff instead of your typical automotive type ring and pinion that is like a heli-cut gear with a power & coast side. I was just hoping it to be quiter. I'm not 100% sure if it's the diff or the belt or both that make all the noise - This is my first SXS and it didn't seem normal compared to other brands I have rented or riden in. The heat issue so far hasn't really bothered me but we are usually going fast across the dunes and probably doesn't get a chance to build up the heat. I have heard that alot of people are insulating their panels on their commanders to keep the cab cooler.
Just wanted to update Brp is giving me a complete new rear diff I am doing the work myself and that is perfectly ok with me just happy to get a new diff. Can't thank my dealer enough went well out his way to help me with this especially considering I didn't buy my machine from him.
