During the paint process an alteration to the fuel fill port masking fixture caused the clear coat to terminate where exposure to fuel vapor is possible. If this occurs, fuel vapor can get under the clear coat, causing the base coat to bubble. Indian Motorcycle will replace all affected fuel tanks with a new tank that has been painted to factory specification using an improved masking fixture.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10178877-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10178877-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10178877","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"fuel-system","name":"Fuel system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"INDIAN","model":"CHIEF VINTAGE","year_from":2016,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"INDIAN","model":"SPRINGFIELD","year_from":2016,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
