Another Indian Recall

    I read today that there is yet another recall on Indians. Apparently they've routed the fuel line to close to the engine causing a fuel leak and the chance of burning your bike down to the rims. That's the third recall in 12 months I believe! Me thinks they might have been better off keeping the Victory and dumping the Indian...

    Can only blame the bike mag I was flicking through while waiting to get through the Woolies check-out! Which stated "Embarrassing third recall fo Indian" . After 37 years in the business I should know not to trust the bloody media!

    Tough school this, he only reported 3 recalls in 12 months for Indian and then made a fair comment on what bike should have been dumped
    no comparison to HD or any other make,

    hard bunch

    Well thankyou Soapbox! After a bit of research it does seem that Polaris have a fire problem on pretty much everything they make with wheels on it!

    I'd like a dollar for every Harley recall.

    I will happily stand corrected, but this fuel line too close to the engine recall is nearly as old as me !!!! Old news. Good for a cheap slag off on a nice piece of machinery. Lets wait a week and bring it up again...... Just my opinion.

    If interested in recalls Google up Product Safety Australia. You can even sign up for free email alerts whenever a particular brand has a new recall issued -- handy as you don't want to be sitting around waiting for a certain bike or white goods manufacturer to tell you your bike or washing machine may explode at any time.

    might have cost many billions of $$$$.
    but, #1 car manufacturer in the world.

    You tell em Pauly!

    You forgot to mention VW's are made by "Jew burners" too.

    Wait a minute, wasn't this thread about Indian re-calls.

    Before we get back to Indian ... Don't get me started about VW. I love mine but the way they have acted post-getting caught red handed is a disgrace. They love it here: if you want a new one they play down the cheating scandal and point fingers elsewhere but if you wanna trade in your VW diesel on a new one, they talk up the scandal as justification to low ball you on your trade.

    Never again.
