Issue: On certain motorcycles, the gear position switch may malfunction. This can cause the wrong gear to be indicated on the motorcycle's display. As a result, the display could indicate that the motorcycle is in neutral, when it is actually in gear. If you do not follow safe starting procedures, the motorcycle could move suddenly during start-up. Safety Risk: Sudden unintended movement of the motorcycle could increase the risk of injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: Indian Motorcycles will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the gear position switch.
On certain motorcycles, electrical components within the right hand switch cube may develop corrosion over time. This could result in an electrical short in the cube that may lead to the motorcycle starting without user input. If the key fob is stored on or near the motorcycle and all other safety interlocks are met, the vehicle could start while unattended. If the vehicle were to start while unattended in a closed area, the risk of exposure to carbon monoxide would be increased, potentially resulting in injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing right hand switch cube with an updated cube that eliminates the potential for corrosion.
