NHTSA Complaint #11338213 — 2016 INDIAN SCOUT

MY 2016 INDIAN SCOUT SIXTY HAS ONLY 1,526 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED IT, AND TOOK DELIVERY ON NOV. 1ST, 2016. WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE ONE DAY RECENTLY, IT STARTED TO RUN ROUGH. IT FREQUENTLY SOUNDED LIKE IT MISFIRED, PLUS WHEN I ROLLED OUT ON THE THROTTLE AT TAKEOFF, AND AT CRUISING SPEEDS, IT WOULD BE DELAYED IN RESPONSE, INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY, WHICH IT ALWAYS DID BEFORE. I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE MORE THROTTLE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STANDSTILL JUST TO AVOID STALLING THE ENGINE.FINALLY WHEN I GOT HOME, THE FRONT END OF THE BAFFLES OF THE EXHAUST WAS TURNED BLUE, MEANING THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING LEAN, CREATING EXCESS HIGH HEAT. THE BAFFLES WERE CHROME COLORED BEFORE THIS. WHILE RIDING, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, AND THEIR WAS A CHECK ENGINE CODE # 3056. I LOOKED UP THE CODE, AND IT INDICATED AN OXYGEN SENSOR WENT BAD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A WELL MAINTAINED MOTORCYCLE, WITH ONLY 1,526 TOTAL MILES ON IT. THAT IS ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX MILES TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION. THE AGE OF THE MOTORCYCLE IS IRRELEVANT. AS OF NOW, POLARIS INDICATES NO RECALLS ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, AND THAT IS WHY I'M REPORTING IT. POLARIS NEEDS TO COVER 100% THE COST OF THIS REPAIR.
