Indian recalls Roadmaster over wiring issue

Indian Motorcycle Australia has joined a global recall of its 2015-2017 Roadmaster motorcycles over a wiring issue.

The company says the jumper wiring harness in the top box was manufactured without silicone plugs that are intended to keep water out of the unused connector terminals.

They say water may enter the top box wiring harness, potentially causing the brake light to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied.Indian Roadmaster Classic wiring

The official recall notice says the wiring issue poses “an accident hazard to the rider and other road users”.

Owners are advised to contact their authorised Indian Motorcycle Dealer to arrange an inspection of the affected bike for corrosion and an updated jumper harness if required.

A list of VINs for the 217 affected bikes is printed at the end of this article.

If consumers need assistance contacting or locating an Indian Dealer, please call 1300 721 360 or visit the Indian website.
