Indian Recalls Scout for Brake Problem

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain model year 2015 Scout motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to February 13, 2015. Due to a problem with the rear brake master cylinder, the motorcycles may have a reduction in, or a complete loss of, rear brake power.  According to documents filed with NHTSA, Indian Motorcycle Company believes that 2 to 4% of the vehicles in the field are affected by this issue. Dealers will inspect all rear master cylinders on the identified vehicles and replace those master cylinders that do not pass the inspection procedure. Indian says a machining or assembly error made by the component manufacturer may have located the piston retaining groove in an incorrect location. If this was made, the retaining ring would not be fully secured.
