RecyclerView Object Keeps Un-Checking Itself

So I have a list of objects in a RecyclerView with a string and boolean attribute. The boolean is for checking whether an object is starred or not. I have the 'checking and un-checking the star' part done (I hope):

-RecyclerAdapter-

mImportantImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    if (mImportantImageView.getTag().equals(1)) {
                        mImportantImageView.setTag(2);
                        mImportantImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.star);
                    } else {
                        mImportantImageView.setTag(1);
                        mImportantImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.staropen);
                    }
                }
            });

However, when I go and create a new object, the first few objects un-check themselves automatically. Sometimes, it isn't just the first few either, it happens randomly throughout my list.
