The repair is free. An authorized dealer will inspect the VCM connector and update the VCM software. If the connector is damaged, the dealer will install a new connector and a new VCM at no cost. Indian will also notify owners directly. This recall has been replaced by NHTSA recall 22V-635, so check the current recall status for your motorcycle.
