Some motorcycles made in northwest Iowa are being recalled. The recall, involving 33-hundred Indian Motorcycles, follows two reports of motorcycles starting themselves. Polaris acquired Indian and moved production of the cycles to Spirit Lake in 2011. Officials blame the self-starting issue on corrosion in a switch. If the key fob is nearby, that can cause an electrical short and start the engine. (announcer out) Polaris confirmed one of the self-starts happened in a dealership. No injuries have been reported. The recall affects 11 models of the Indian Motorcycle from the 2018 model year. Owners can take their motorcycle to a dealer to have the problem fixed free of charge.
