Recall historical past and associated considerations

Again in 2021, Indian Bikes’ mum or dad firm, Polaris, landed on a social media put up about their very own brake gentle points.

Quick ahead a few years, and Polaris has discovered the fault to lie in multiple bike, with Bosch’s ABS 9.1M Plus module at fault.

Apparently, the affected half could cause “unintended illumination” of the brake gentle, which may in flip improve rusk of a collision.

Right here’s the precise quote from the NHTSA’s Security Report:

Unintended illumination of the brake lights could also be noticeable to different highway customers, create confusion for the motive force following the topic autos as to the that means of the sign and improve the chance of crash.

There have been no reported accidents or accidents associated to this defect.”
