The 2015 Indian Chief Classic has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak gasoline, raising the risk of fire if the fuel reaches an ignition source.
A second fire risk comes from the ignition system: if the engine misfires, unburned fuel can pass through the exhaust system and cause exhaust temperatures to rise high enough to ignite nearby materials. On the braking side, the rear brake master cylinder can lose partial or full braking power, which extends the distance needed to stop the motorcycle and raises the risk of a crash. There is also an electrical concern involving the vehicle control module connector, which can fail and cut power to the front lights, including the headlight, leaving the rider with no forward illumination at night or in low-visibility conditions.
