Posted on: 2019-10-30
Description
Indian motorcycle company (indian) is recalling certain 2014-2019 chief, chieftain, roadmaster, and springfield motorcycles. The gear position switch contacts may oxidize, causing the gear position display to inaccurately show that the motorcycle is in neutral when it is actually in gear.

The switch will be replaced, once parts are available, currently expected to be in the first few months of 2020. These repairs will be performed free of charge.
