Indian Motorcycle corrosion may develop within the right combination switch, potentially resulting in the motorcycle starting without the user's intent if the key fob is near the motorcycle and the required safety interlock conditions are met.
The short version
Indian Motorcycle Company reported a problem with the electrical system. Here is what owners need to know.
Corrosion may develop within the right combination switch, potentially resulting in the motorcycle starting without the user's intent if the key fob is near the motorcycle and the required safety interlock conditions are met.
If the motorcycle starts unintentionally and is parked in an enclosed space, exposure to carbon monoxide may increase the risk of injury.
Indian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right hand combination switch, free of charge.
