Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles may be equipped with a european-market, not us-market, halogen headlight assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: The light output from the incorrect headlight can affect the motorcycle's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Indian will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycle and replace any incorrect headlight assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2017.
