1. While holding a constant line and speed, I suddenly felt a sharp jolt from the rear of the motorcycle followed by rapid bouncing. 2. The rear wheel locked instantly. I heard the tire skid and felt it stop rotating. 3. The ABS indicator illuminated, yet there was no braking input from me. 4. I attempted gentle steering correction, but with the rear wheel fully locked the motorcycle destabilized and threw me to the right. 5. I struck the pavement injured my left knee and right hand. The motorcycle slid and came to rest on the northeast sidewalk ramp at the corner of NE 102nd St / N Wallace Ave.

Dec 23, 2024

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2025 Scout and Scout Sixty motorcycles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of affected trims. The gear position display may falsely show that the motorcycle is in neutral. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The motorcycle may move unexpectedly when the transmission is actually in gear, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the Engine Control Module (ECM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 29, 2025. Owners may contact Indian customer service at 1-877-204-3697. Indian's number for this recall is I-24-11.
