What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Indian Pursuit, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
[XXX] My brand new Indian Pursuit has a death wobble. Many who have purchased this motorcycle experience the same "death wobble". Polaris (owner of Indian Motorcycles) states it's not a real problem and to just keep hands on the handle bars. They've said this after multiple attempts to repair the issue. They don't seem to know what the root cause is. They have defaulted to blame the customer. This defect (death wobble) will cost lives if not corrected. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
