Indian Springfield Recalls

The Indian Springfield has 8 recalls spanning 2014 through 2024, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023-2024 models where an improperly routed crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall without warning, raising the risk of a crash.

On 2024 models, the rear suspension pushrod can buckle under load, potentially pinching the main wiring harness, damaging the coolant reservoir, or contacting the rear tire. On 2019 models, a defective 10-amp circuit breaker can trip unexpectedly, cutting power and stalling the engine while riding.

The 2018 model year has a separate electrical issue where the motorcycle can start unintentionally, creating a carbon monoxide risk if it is parked in an enclosed space. The vehicle control module electrical connection on 2016-2020 models can fail and cut power to the front lights, including the headlight, reducing visibility at night or in low-light conditions.

Going back further, 2014-2019 models have a gear position switch whose contacts can oxidize, causing the display to show neutral when the transmission is actually in gear. Starting the motorcycle in gear can cause it to lurch forward unexpectedly. On 2017-2018 models, some units were fitted with a European-specification halogen headlight assembly rather than the correct US-market unit, producing a different light pattern that reduces forward visibility.

The earliest production years, 2014-2017, have a fuel rail that can contact surrounding components and develop a fuel leak, which can ignite if it reaches a heat source.
