What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Indian Roadmaster, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Electrical

From owner reports, verbatim
total electrical loss to all electronics, followed by reset, followed by total loss again and ultimately the bike shuts off, while driving. All gauges went down, then powered back up, along with all warning lights (like in an initial start) as well as the Ride Command rebooting. This happens a handful of times and then the bike ultimately shuts down, even while driving, and no response to be able to get it start again until it sits for some time. Ultimately, the 10A re-setting breaker in the fusebox was replaced and remedied the issue.
