The 2015 Indian Roadmaster has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a rear brake master cylinder that can lose partial or full braking power, a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak fuel near ignition sources, and a gear position switch that can falsely display neutral while the bike is actually in gear.
On the fire risk side, engine misfires can push unburned fuel through the exhaust system, raising exhaust temperatures to the point where a fire becomes possible. That concern combines with the fuel rail leak issue to make fire a recurring theme across these recalls. The gear position display problem is worth noting separately: if the switch contacts corrode and the display reads neutral when the transmission is actually in gear, starting the motorcycle can cause it to lurch forward unexpectedly. There is also a wiring issue specific to the Roadmaster: water can get into the trunk wiring harness and cause the brake light to stay on continuously, which can confuse drivers behind the motorcycle about whether it is actually slowing down.
