The 2017 Indian Springfield has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel rail that can contact nearby components and leak gasoline, raising the risk of fire if a source of ignition is present.
An electrical recall covers a gear position switch whose contacts can oxidize over time, causing the display to show neutral when the motorcycle is actually in gear. If the rider starts the bike in this condition, it can lurch forward unexpectedly. Two separate recalls affect lighting. The vehicle control module's electrical connection can fail and cut power to the front lights, including the headlight, leaving the rider without forward illumination while riding. Separately, certain bikes may have been fitted with a European-market halogen headlight assembly rather than the correct US-market unit, which produces a different light pattern and can reduce how well the motorcycle is seen and how well the rider sees the road ahead.
