NHTSA recall 18V055000
Electrical System · Indian Motorcycle Company
Details
What's wrong: Water may enter the trunk wiring harness, potentially causing the brake light to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied.
Why it matters: If the brake light remains illuminated when the brakes are not applied, a vehicle behind the motorcycle may not know when the motorcycle is actually slowing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Indian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trunk wiring harness with an updated harness that contains sealing plugs in the connectors, free of charge. The recall began on January 30, 2018.
