The 2017 Indian Roadmaster has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak gasoline, raising the risk of fire if a spark or ignition source is present.
A second recall addresses a gear position switch whose electrical contacts can oxidize over time, causing the instrument display to show neutral when the transmission is actually in gear. If the rider starts the motorcycle in that state, it can lurch forward unexpectedly, creating a crash risk. On the electrical side, water can work its way into the trunk wiring harness and cause the brake light to stay on even when the rider is not slowing down. A vehicle following closely behind may not recognize when the motorcycle is actually braking, reducing reaction time and raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
