The 2016 Indian Chief Classic has 3 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak fuel, and an engine misfire condition that can push unburned fuel through the exhaust and raise exhaust temperatures to the point of ignition.
The third recall involves the rear brake master cylinder, which can lose pressure partially or completely, extending the distance needed to slow or stop the motorcycle and raising the risk of a crash.
