1999 INDIAN CHIEF Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1999 Indian Chief has 2 recalls, both carrying equal severity: a handlebar riser clamp that can allow excessive handlebar movement, and a rear suspension failure that can cause the back end of the motorcycle to collapse. The handlebar clamp issue means the bars can shift under rider input, reducing steering control and raising the risk of a crash. On the suspension side, certain motorcycles equipped with Sway-A-Way rear shock absorbers have mounting bolts that can break, causing the rear suspension to fold without warning.
