THE TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE SWITCH DOES WORK ON A 45 TO 90 DEGREE TURN HOWEVER IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE MOTORWAY AND WANT TO SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES I CAN NOT GET THE SWITCH TO CANCEL OUT. IT DOES NOT CANCEL. MOTORISTS AROUND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR INTENDING TO DO SINCE IT IS SIGNALING LEFT OR RIGHT AS YOU TRY TO GET IT TO CANCEL. DURING THIS PERIOD YOU ARE NOT GIVING 100 PERCENT ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC AROUND YOU. THIS CONFUSION OF MOTORISTS AROUND YOU PRESENTS A FURTHER HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THIS SWITCH IS FAULTY. CAN AM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEM. HOPEFULLY REPLACING WITH A BETTER DESIGN. I BOUGHT THE CAN AM USED FROM A PERSON AND THIS IS MY FINDINGS AS THE SECOND OWNER
