If this occurs, fuel vapor can get under the clear coat, causing the base coat to bubble. To ensure that we continue to deliver world class quality, Indian Motorcycle will replace all affected fuel tanks with a new tank that has been painted to factory specification using an improved masking process.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10186746-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10186746-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10186746","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","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.
