On August 18, 2023, the Indian Motorcycle Company submitted a safety recall report to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning certain 2023 Challenger and Pursuit models due to a fuel line problem. The issue stems from an improperly assembled fuel line provided by a supplier, which could lead to engine stalls in the affected bikes. This, in turn, heightens the potential for accidents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Indian Motorcycle identified the problem during its end-of-line dynamometer audits for motorcycles in production. The investigation traced the issue to the incorrectly assembled fuel lines. The company promptly engaged with the supplier to rectify the situation and simultaneously took measures to isolate the bikes that might have used the faulty fuel lines that were still in its possession.<\/p>\n
Despite the absence of any reported accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to this concern, Indian Motorcycle decided to issue a safety recall as a precautionary measure for potentially impacted bikes. On June 20, 2023, the company ceased the shipment of the affected motorcycles from its factory and will only recommence shipments after acquiring and installing the proper fuel lines.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of this recall initiative, authorized Indian Motorcycle dealerships will carry out the replacement of the problematic fuel lines for customers, and all expenses will be covered. Additionally, those customers who previously bore the cost of replacing or servicing their vehicles due to this issue before the official recall announcement might be eligible for reimbursement, subject to proper documentation.<\/p>\n
The company is set to inform its dealership network around August 22, 2023, about this safety recall, with registered owners of the affected motorcycles receiving notifications on September 12, 2023.<\/p>\n
