Chronology :

In February 2022, Indian Motorcycle identified a leak at the coolant junction on an FTR motorcycle in development testing that resulted in hot coolant contacting the test rider. The test rider was not injured.

Thereafter, Indian Motorcycle initiated an investigation, which included outreach to the component part supplier and testing performed internally and at the supplier.

During the investigation, Indian Motorcycle identified 64 consumer reports of leaks at the coolant junction, including four reports of coolant contacting the rider. Indian Motorcycle has not identified any reports involving a crash, injuries, or deaths related to this reported issue, and has not identified any associated NDFRs.

On August 16, 2022, Indian Motorcycle’s Executive Review Committee decided that the failure at the coolant junction resulting in coolant loss during operation resulted in a safety-related defect.
