Indian - Polaris

An official Health Canada notice concerns Indian - Polaris. On certain motorcycles, if the headlight switch is slowly moved from one position to another (high beam to low beam, or low beam to high beam), both headlamps would be ON simultaneously during the transition phase. This could cause the Body Control Module (BCM) to falsely identify an overload condition, and attempt to protect the circuit by removing voltage from the headlight circuit. Loss of headlamp illumination, should it occur during a rainy day, or during hours of darkness, could compromise the rider's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the BCM with an updated version. Published 2022-06-30.
