Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always
mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is
reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.
2003 Indian Scout
Recall 2003303
27 Nov 2003
29 units in Canada
Other
On certain motorcycles, the fasteners that bolt the windshield to the mounting clamps can break, causing the windshield to come partially or completely off the bike.

2003 Indian Scout
Recall 2003301
27 Nov 2003
17 units in Canada
Fuel System
On certain motorcycles, the gas tank vent tube can become clogged with debris and could cause an interruption of fuel flow to the carburetor and the engine to stop. A clogged vent tube may also cause pressure to build up in the gas tank and push a small amount of gas out of the fuel filler cap seal. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
2003 Indian Scout

2001 Indian Scout
Recall 2003306
27 Nov 2003
11 units in Canada
Suspension
On certain motorcycles, the pinch bolts that clamp the front forks to the axle may be 1/4" or 5/16" stainless steel bolts. In both cases, these bolts may not be of sufficient strength to clamp the front fork to the axle tightly enough to prevent axle rotation. If the axle is allowed to rotate, the axle could come out of the right front fork, collapsing the front end, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
