NHTSA recall 26V397000
Equipment · Indian Motorcycle Company
Details
What's wrong: The VIN label states the incorrect rear rim width. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 120, "wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."
Why it matters: Incorrect wheel rim size information could lead to improperly mounted tires and result in a loss of motorcycle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Imc will mail owners information labels with instructions, free of charge. Letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed July 15, 2026. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7, 2026.
