What's wrong?
The 10A circuit breaker on these 2019 Indian motorcycles is part of the electrical protection system. It is designed to carry normal current for critical circuits, then open the circuit when current rises too high, much like a resettable fuse. In normal operation, it protects wiring without cutting power during ordinary riding.
On affected Chieftain, Roadmaster, Springfield, Springfield Dark Horse, FTR1200, Chief Dark Horse, Chieftain Dark Horse, and Vintage motorcycles, an internal reed in the breaker was not oriented correctly. That defect lets the breaker open below its rated current. When it trips early, electrical power stops flowing through the circuit, which can shut the engine off suddenly while the motorcycle is moving.
There is no warning sign before failure. The motorcycle can be running normally, then lose power if the breaker opens unexpectedly, so the first thing an owner notices can be the stall itself.
