2017 Indian Chief Vintage Complaints

The 2017 Indian Chief Vintage has 2 recalls, both involving lighting failures that reduce how well the rider can see and be seen at night or in low-visibility conditions.

The more serious issue involves the electrical connection for the vehicle control module, which can fail and cut power to the front lights entirely, including the headlight. The second recall concerns the headlight assembly itself: certain motorcycles may have been fitted with a European-market halogen headlight rather than the correct US-market unit, which means the beam pattern and light output may not meet US standards and can leave the road ahead poorly lit.
