Service bulletin ISA-21-01
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Indian Motorcycle found that some 2022 Chief models can exhibit a noise in the front of the motorcycle when operating slowly on rough or bumpy road conditions. The sound can be difficult to properly diagnose as it may resemble a metallic clicking in the front headlight area. The sound is coming from the bypass valve within the front suspension and occurs when switching between compression and rebound. The sound can be amplified by the fender shape on some motorcycles. The sound does not affect the performance of the motorcycle. Indian Motorcycle has released a service kit with new upper fork with a revised bypass valve to correct the noise.
