Details

What's wrong: In the event of an engine misfire, unburned fuel may pass through parts of the exhaust system, raising the exhaust temperatures.

Why it matters: Elevated exhaust temperatures may result in an increased risk of fire.

The fix: Indian will notify owners, and dealers will update the engine control module (ECM) software, free of charge. The recall began July 2016.
