On certain motorcycles, the weld attaching the fender mount to the front fork may crack and break.

Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain motorcycles, the bracket used to support the teardrop headlight can crack and/or break causing the light to slip out of position or fall off.

On certain motorcycles, the gas tank vent tube can become clogged with debris and could cause an interruption of fuel flow to the carburetor and the engine to stop. A clogged vent tube may also cause pressure to build up in the gas tank and push a small amount of gas out of the fuel filler cap seal. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.

On certain motorcycles, the rear axle is made of a material with a lower than desirable yield strength. Under repeated heavy loads, the rear axle could deform causing excessive wear in the rear wheel bearings potentially leading to overheating and seizing of the bearings, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain motorcycles, fractures can occur on either the left or right of the fuel tank at the top of the joint where the bracket is welded to the tank back plate. Fuel can escape from the tank, increasing the risk of a fire. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank venting system may have become clogged during production. This clogging prevents the venting system from allowing the pressure to escape from the fuel tank, which could result in gas flowing back into the carburetor and possibly spilling onto the ground. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
