Motorcycle speedometer failed. The speedometer on the motorcycle contains vital information such as speed, gear, mileage, lighting status, fuel level, the check engine light, amongst other pieces of information. The manufacturer has a defect with the speedometers which allows water to enter the speedometer housing and then short the circuit, causing total failure. This incident is not isolated and has been a known issue for Indian Motorcycles over the last decade. An online search will show several forms and people inquiring on the same issue, only to have the same problem of moisture shorting the system. Indian has to be aware of this issue and refusing to issue a recall to correct this very important issue. The equipment is available to be inspected. This is a safety concern due to not being able to monitor the necessary equipment of the motorcycle. The equipment has not been take to a dealer at this time. The equipment did not give any notification before going out. The only sign was seeing some moisture building up behind the lense of the housing, it then went out shortly after while driving. The motorcycle still functions, just does not display any information. The moisture was first notice about a month before the equipment stopped working.
NHTSA complaint 11589526There is a cap on the mph needle that fell off and rolls around the bottom of the speedometer inside. I was riding and all the sudden a red light is illuminating which caused me to lose focus on the road wondering what happened and why this light is now on. No inspections have been made yet. No warning the cap just fell off and rolls inside of the speedometer.

Turn bike of then the left one starts blinking, when cancelled the right one will start blinking, and will not cancel. I had to drive 300 miles with the hazards on without turn signals.
