Indian Motorcycle is recalling a total of 50 2023 Challenger and Pursuit model motorcycles. The issue stems from a “…fuel line [that] was assembled with the internal flow control check valve in the wrong end of the fuel line and oriented in the wrong direction.” The defect may cause fuel starvation to the injectors and may result in a vehicle stall during operation.”

In its Part 573 Safety Recall Report, Indian describes the defect:

“Indian Motorcycle has determined that some Model Year 2023 Challenger and Pursuit motorcycles have been built with an improperly assembled fuel line by the supplier. This may result in a vehicle stall during operation, which increases the risk of a crash and serious injury.”

Then, describing the safety risk, Indian says:

“Potential for engine stall increasing the risk of crash and serious injury.”
