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 11,648 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Indian vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 6 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V635000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V860000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V636000 (engine), 20V182000 (engine).
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 February 2, 2024 as campaign 24V069000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
