Recall 2003305

The issue

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.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, l'essieu arrière est fait d'un matériau qui n'a pas la résistance à la rupture prévue. S'il est soumis à des lourdes charges répétées, l'essieu arrière peut se déformer et entraîner l'usure excessive du roulement de la roue, qui pourrait alors surchauffer et gripper, ce qui représente un risque d'accident. Correction : Puisque la société Indian Motorcycles a fermé ses portes, aucune correction n'est offerte.
