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 1,215 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Indian vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 2 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V681000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V550000 (suspension).
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 December 7, 2023 as campaign 23V829000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
