Bulletin Summary
Indian Motorcycle has learned that a defect exists affecting all 2016 Jack DanielâÂÂsî Limited Edition Vintage and Springfield fuel tanks, which may affect paint adhesion around the fuel fill port. 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.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
