ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM):SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2020 Scout Bobber Sixty motorcycles. An engine control unit (ECU) update may have caused the brake lights to become inoperable.
- What it can cause
- Inoperable brake lights can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners will be asked to inspect their brake lights, and advised to not ride their motorcycle if the brake lights are inoperable. If the brake lights are not functioning, dealers will re-flash the ECU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 27, 2021. Owners may contact Indian customer service at 1-877-204-3697. Indian's number for this recall is I-21-03.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 177 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Indian vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling once before this, most recently in June 2016 as 16V446000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Indian Motorcycle Company with NHTSA on September 2, 2021 as campaign 21V681000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
