INDIAN CHIEF CLASSIC Recalls

The Indian Chief Classic has 4 recalls covering 2014 through 2017, with the most serious being a fuel rail that can contact nearby components on 2014-2017 models, causing a fuel leak that can ignite and start a fire. The second fire-related concern affects 2014-2016 models: an engine misfire can allow unburned fuel to pass through the exhaust system, raising exhaust temperatures to the point where a fire can start. On the braking side, 2015-2016 models have a rear brake master cylinder that can lose pressure partially or completely, lengthening stopping distances and raising the risk of a crash. The 2014 model year has an additional issue where a fault in the vehicle control module can cut power to all front lights, including the headlight, reducing visibility while riding.
