NHTSA Complaint #11419512 — 2019 INDIAN CHIEF ROADMASTER

The gear position sensor will go from 6th gear to neutral causing you to either drop out of cruise control (if engaged) or a momentary loss of power, if the cruise is not engaged. This can create a dangerous condition due to a sudden decrease in speed, if anybody is behind you. This is a motorcycle so there is nothing between you and any other vehicle. This was already supposed to have been fixed based on a recall I believe initiated here. That was for people accidentally starting their motorcycles in gear. As alleged on the internet, all Indian did was switch resistance values so now the issue I am reporting here is occurring. People are living (I hope!) with this condition as they were either told by Indian they are out of warranty or they are out of warranty and don't think anything can be done. Since there is no word of Indian supplying a new, improved gear position sensor to those afflicted, I can only assume that Indian is still producing thousands of new bikes that will have this problem. Looking at the additional details below. This occurs every time I ride my bike. The speed it occurs at 50+ mph as that is when you would be in 6th gear. This started occurring at about 11k miles. Thank you - George
