2010–2011 Indian Classic & 2010–2011 Indian Dark Horse + 9 more recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Polaris is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 indian motorcycles for the body control module (BCM) which CAN cause the headlight to turn off in some circumstances. If the headlight switch is slowly moved from one position to another (high beam to low beam or low beam to high beam), both beams may be on momentarily and the BCM interprets this as an overload condition.
💥 The risk
The BCM turns off the headlight until the next time that the key is turned on. The unexpected loss of headlight function could impair a driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the BCM free of charge. The safety recall began on august 4, 2011. Owners may contact polaris at 1-651-408-7579.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
