Indian Motorcycles is recalling 1,215 units from their Chieftain/Roadmaster/Springfield ranges.
According to the NHTSA, this recall deals with a crankshaft position sensor that has been improperly routed. If this part is not remedied, the bike could suffer an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
We’re told that the problem was found “based on increased risk of sensor misrouting as determined by review of manufacturing data and warranty claims.”

How can I tell if my bike’s crankshaft position sensor is off?
Of the eight warranty claims logged, every single situation experienced smoke coming from a sensor wire that happened to be in contact with the bike’s exhaust head pipe. One of these warranty claims also experienced a vehicle stall, though we’re told nobody was hurt in any of this.
