INDIAN SCOUT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM):SOFTWARE

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2025 Scout and Scout Sixty motorcycles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of affected trims. The gear position display may falsely show that the motorcycle is in neutral. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."

Risk: The motorcycle may move unexpectedly when the transmission is actually in gear, increasing the risk of a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Scout, Scout Bobber Sixty, Scout Bobber, Scout Icon, Scout Sixty, Scout Bobber Twenty, Scout Bobber Icon, 2022 Scout Rogue Sixty, Chief, Chief Bobber, Chief Bobber Dark Horse, Chief Dark Horse, Scout Rogue, Super Chief, and Super Chief Limited motorcycles. The fuel pump may fail while riding.

Risk: Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2019 Scout, Scout Sixty, and Scout Bobber motorcycles equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS). After the manufacturing process, air may remain trapped within the brake system, possibly reducing brake performance.

Risk: Reduced brake performance can increase the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES

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.

Risk: 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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2019 Indian Scout, Scout Bobber, and Scout Sixty motorcycles equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS). After the manufacturing process, air may remain trapped within the brake system, possibly reducing brake performance.

Risk: Reduced brake performance can increase the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Indian Scout, Scout Sixty, and Scout Bobber motorcycles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) may have air left in the system after the assembly process.

Risk: Air in the brake system can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN

1. While holding a constant line and speed, I suddenly felt a sharp jolt from the rear of the motorcycle followed by rapid bouncing. 2. The rear wheel locked instantly. I heard the tire skid and felt it stop rotating. 3. The ABS indicator illuminated, yet there was no braking input from me. 4. I attempted gentle steering correction, but with the rear wheel fully locked the motorcycle destabilized and threw me to the right. 5. I struck the pavement injured my left knee and right hand. The motorcycle slid and came to rest on the northeast sidewalk ramp at the corner of NE 102nd St / N Wallace Ave.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I currently have 5K miles on the bike. All 5K miles I have had stalling issues. These issues mostly happen when lightly feathering the throttle while pulling out. This issue is not in my clutch work. It seems to be in the throttle sensor. The bike has began to randomly shut down on my while riding. This is always random and cannot be reproduced at will. It does however seem to only happen with a zero throttle position and clutch fully disengaged position (while riding). This is not quite the case when pulling out, the issue presents with a slight throttle and the clutch just starting to friction, if you attempt to throttle the bike dies. The throttle sensor is not correct. Furthermore it seems after the bike has warmed up… like 10 miles and I stop at the store in the mornings, the next start seems to like rock the engine up during startup. This causes a terrible abrupt stop to the engine start and causes the ride command to reboot. This has happened riding furring downshifting at a light where the engine shut off and caused the ride command to reboot, had to coast to the side of the road and wait 20 seconds to get the fuel pump back before it would fire back up. This stalling on the highway has happened 3 times now and without any warning. This is going to get me into an accident. So, the engine stall happened this morning and it actually got the first time threw a check engine light. The absolute first code I have ever been able to see 3464-3 (throttle actuator fault) this solidifies my throttle suspicions all along, as everything has always pointed to the throttle sensor. If Indian does not fix this (there are a ton of people complaining about this same issue on their 2025’s) they are going to hurt or kill someone. This is a safety issue that needs addressed immediately! I will be taking my bike in for it’s 5K service on Saturday and will report it again, but just like the other 10 times I will be dismissed. This is an urgent recall that needs addressed.
