Indian Vehicle Problems? You're Not Alone

Indian Lemon Law Claims in California

If you’re dealing with a defective Indian vehicle in California, you have important legal rights under state and federal warranty laws.

At Mission Law Group Lemon Lawyers, we can handle claims against Indian, helping clients obtain the compensation they deserve.

Shocking Statistics: Indian’s Lemon Law Track Record

Recent data from California courts paints a shocking picture. Here’s what stands out:

  • Indian recalled 4,926 Scout and Scout Sixty motorcycles due to a software issue falsely indicating neutral, increasing the risk of unintended movement. (Source)
  • A recall impacted 1,773 motorcycles from multiple 2024 models after a rear suspension pushrod defect raised crash risks. (Source)
  • Indian faced lawsuits from landlords, banks, and parent company Polaris over dealership disputes involving financial claims and merchandise returns. (Source)

If you’re tired of dealing with the same problems, it might not just be bad luck—it could be a lemon. Know your rights.

Common Indian Vehicle Issues That Qualify Under Lemon Law

If you’re experiencing any of these recurring problems with your Indian vehicle:

  • Transmission failures
  • Engine performance issues
  • Electrical system malfunctions
  • Safety system failures
  • Steering problems
  • Brake system defects
  • Navigation/infotainment system problems
  • Suspension issues
  • Structural defects

You may have a strong lemon law case against Indian.

Warning Signs Your Indian Vehicle Is a Lemon

Your Indian vehicle might qualify as a lemon if:

  • It’s been in the shop 2+ times for the same safety issue
  • You’ve had 4+ repair attempts for any persistent problem
  • Your vehicle has been at the dealership for 30+ days total
  • The problems started while under warranty
  • The issues affect your vehicle’s safety, value, or use

Your Rights Under California Lemon Law

California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.2) provides strong protections for consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles.

Under this law, Indian must either replace your defective vehicle or provide a refund if they cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts during the warranty period.

You may have a valid lemon law claim if:

  • Your Indian vehicle has a substantial defect covered by the warranty
  • The defect impacts the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
  • Indian has made multiple unsuccessful repair attempts
  • Your vehicle has been in the repair shop for 30 days or more
  • The problems occurred during the warranty period

Why Indian Owners Need to Act Now

  1. California’s lemon law is changing in 2025, potentially reducing consumer protections
  2. Indian’s internal policies often resist initial lemon law claims
  3. The manufacturer has an entire legal team – you need someone on your side

What Indian Might Tell You – And What You Should Know

Dealing with a problematic Indian vehicle can be frustrating, especially when you’re told things like:

“This is normal for your vehicle” 

Reality check: If your car isn’t working properly and it’s affecting how you use it, its value, or your safety – that’s not “normal.” California law protects you against substantial defects, regardless of what’s considered “normal” for that model.

“Just let us try one more repair” 

Here’s the truth: You don’t have to keep giving endless repair chances. Our attorneys understand you have a life outside attempting to get the manufacturer to fix your car. Four (4) times to fix the same problem or being without your vehicle for over 30 days is just plain unreasonable.

“This isn’t a serious enough problem”

Don’t let anyone minimize your concerns. If the problem makes your car less useful, less valuable, or less safe, it could qualify under lemon law – even if the dealership doesn’t think it’s “serious enough.”

“Your modifications voided your rights” 

Not so fast. Unless your modifications actually caused the problem, you still have rights under California’s lemon law. Simple modifications don’t automatically disqualify your claim.

Look, we get it. When you’re told these things by people who seem knowledgeable, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But you have real rights under California law, and we’re here to help you understand and protect them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Indian models qualify?

In California, motorcycles are generally covered under the state’s lemon law provisions. If your Indian motorcycle has a substantial defect that affects its use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer or its authorized dealer has been unable to repair the issue after a reasonable number of attempts, your motorcycle may qualify as a lemon. This applies to various models, including but not limited to:

  • Indian Scout
  • Indian Chief
  • Indian Chieftain
  • Indian Roadmaster
  • Indian Challenger
  • Indian FTR

It’s important to note that each case is unique, and eligibility depends on specific circumstances, such as the nature of the defect and the repair history.

What if Indian already denied my claim?

If your initial lemon law claim has been denied by Indian Motorcycle Company, you still have options:

  1. Review the Denial Reason: Understand why your claim was denied. It could be due to insufficient documentation, the defect not being deemed substantial, or other reasons.
  2. Seek Legal Assistance: Consult with an attorney experienced in California’s lemon law. They can assess your case, help gather necessary documentation, and provide guidance on the best course of action.
  3. Alternative Dispute Resolution: Some cases may be resolved through arbitration or mediation, offering a less formal avenue to settle disputes.

Remember, a denial doesn’t necessarily mean the end of your claim. Legal professionals can often identify avenues for appeal or alternative strategies to pursue compensation.

How much will this cost me?

Nothing upfront. Indian pays all attorney fees in a successful case.
