2018 Indian Chief Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Indian Chief has 3 recalls, the most serious being a gear position switch that can oxidize and falsely show neutral on the display, causing the motorcycle to lurch forward unexpectedly when started while still in gear.

A related electrical issue involves the motorcycle starting unintentionally while parked, which in an enclosed space can expose people nearby to carbon monoxide. On the lighting side, some motorcycles may have been fitted with a European-market halogen headlight assembly rather than the correct US-market unit, which produces different light output and can reduce how well the motorcycle is seen by other drivers at night.
