Indian Motorcycle Recalls — Canada & USA

Indian Motorcycle has 10 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2009 through 2025. Across those models, 28 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity rating system places a notable share of them in the upper tiers: 43% fall into Critical and 25% into High, meaning roughly 68% of all campaigns carry one of the two most serious designations. Critical recalls typically involve defects with the potential for loss of vehicle control, fire, or severe injury, while High recalls address conditions that carry meaningful risk even if the probability or immediacy differs. Medium recalls account for 29% of the total, and Low for the remaining 4%, with no Informational campaigns in the dataset.

The Chieftain leads the lineup with 5 recalls, followed by the Chief and the Scout, each with 4. Those three models together account for nearly half of all recall campaigns across the brand's 10-model footprint. Because the lineup is concentrated rather than sprawling, individual models carry a relatively dense recall record, and the Critical and High campaigns are distributed across several of them rather than isolated to one. The absence of any Informational campaigns underscores that the recall activity on record tends to involve substantive safety conditions rather than owner notifications or minor compliance matters.
