What's wrong?
The fuel tank on the 2022 Indian FTR1200, Ftr 1200 R Carbon, Ftr 1200 S, and Ftr 1200 Rally stores gasoline and keeps it sealed while the motorcycle is running, parked, or being refueled. It is supposed to hold fuel without openings in the tank body, so gasoline stays away from riders, painted parts, hot components, and ignition sources.
On the affected motorcycles, the fuel tank was altered before sale after certification testing. That alteration left holes in the tank. Instead of acting as a sealed container, the tank can let gasoline escape through those openings. The repaired part is a fuel tank that has not been altered before installation.
Owners can notice the problem before a larger leak. A fuel smell near the motorcycle or visible leaking fuel are warning signs that the tank is not sealing correctly.
