The 2014 Indian Motorcycle Chieftain has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel rail that can shift and chafe against nearby components, creating a fuel leak that may ignite and cause a fire.
The second recall concerns the gear position switch, which can send incorrect information to the instrument display. The display may show neutral when the motorcycle is actually in gear, and if the rider starts the engine without following careful starting procedures, the bike can lurch forward unexpectedly, raising the risk of a crash or injury. On the electrical side, a poor connection at the vehicle control module can cause the headlight to flicker intermittently or go out entirely, reducing what the rider can see ahead at night or in low-visibility conditions. If this happens, the high beam indicator on the gauge cluster will flash as a warning sign.
