Recalls and investigations

  1. Service brakesFeb 5, 2019

    Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain accessory brake levers, part number 2883795-658, sold for use on Scout and Scout bobber motorcycles. The accessory brake lever adjustment screw may have been set incorrectly, causing unintentional front brake application.

    The accessory brake lever may apply the front brake, increasing the application while riding until the front wheel locks up, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Indian Motorcycle Company will notify owners, and dealers will provide replacement parts, free of charge. The recall began April 24, 2019. Owners may contact Indian customer service at 1-877-204-3697. Indian's number for this recall is I-19-01.

Due to a problem with the rear brake master cylinder, the motorcycles may have a reduction in, or a complete loss of, rear brake power.

    A full or partial loss of rear braking power may lengthen the distance needed to slow or stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners may contact the Indian Motorcycle Consumer Service Department at 1-877-204-3697. Indian's number for this recall is I-15-01 A/B.

    FOR OVER A YEAR NOW MY SCOUT WILL UNCONTROLLABLY REV IN LOW GEARS AFTER GETTING HOT. THIS HAPPENS AT STOPS AND GOING INTO TURNS MOST COMMONLY. MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK AND IF I WERE A LESS EXPERIENCED RIDER I WOULD HAVE. I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE DEALERS TO ATTEMPT AN UNDER WARRANTY FIX AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE FIX AND THAT THEY ARENT EVEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
