The 2014 Indian Chief Classic has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak fuel, raising the risk of fire.
A second recall also involves fire risk: if the engine misfires, unburned fuel can pass through the exhaust system and cause exhaust temperatures to spike to the point of ignition. On the electrical side, a fault in the vehicle control module can cause all front lights, including the headlight, to cut out while riding, leaving the motorcycle without forward illumination and raising the risk of a crash.
