What's wrong?
The coolant junction on the 2019, 2020, 2022 Indian FTR1200, Ftr 1200 S, and Ftr 1200 Rally is part of the engine cooling system. It routes coolant through the engine so heat moves away from hot metal parts while the motorcycle is running. The system depends on that junction staying sealed at operating temperature.
On affected motorcycles, the coolant junction can fail during normal operation and start to leak. Indian traced the issue to the suspect junction part used on these FTR motorcycles. The remedy part uses a material change intended to hold up better at operating temperatures and reduce manufacturing variation. When the junction leaks, coolant leaves the system and hot coolant can reach the rider.
There is no warning sign before failure. If coolant appears on the engine area, on the ground after a ride, or on riding gear, the junction leak has already started.

Spans FTR1200, Ftr 1200 S, and Ftr 1200 Rally motorcycles across the 2019, 2020, and 2022 model years, all tied to the engine coolant junction.

What's the safety risk?
Hot coolant leaking onto a rider increases injury risk. If coolant reaches the rear tire, traction can drop and crash risk increases.

- Contact a franchised Indian dealer to schedule the free coolant-junction replacement for the coolant leak risk.
