2Indian year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 17 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the electrical system than any other system: 7 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2017 Roadmaster, with 9.
NHTSA holds 49 recall campaigns naming Indian vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.
Most complained-about Indian models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Indian
The systems named most often across every Indian complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7
- FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM 5
- VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 3
