2018 INDIAN CHIEFTAIN DARK HORSE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse has 2 recalls, the most serious being a faulty electrical connection in the vehicle control module that can cause the headlight and front lights to cut out entirely, leaving the rider without forward visibility. The second recall involves the headlight assembly itself: certain motorcycles may have been fitted with a European-market halogen headlight rather than the correct US-market unit, which produces a different light output pattern that can reduce how well the motorcycle is seen or how well the rider sees the road ahead.
