I have a 2019, bought new from big sky harley in Great Falls MT. Montana makes it easy to be road legal since any atv out here is more or less automatically issued a license plate during the titling process. The speed limit on any road outside of cities is 70, so obviously I went with the stage 1 tune to remove the speed limiter and enable me to move with the flow of traffic. The salesman assured me there would be no impact on the warranty. Less than 300 miles in I started noticing a audible hissing or whooshing sound any time the engine was under load. Upon closer inspection I noticed the boot where the intake pipe transitions to the intake manifold had lifted and broken it's seal. I was in the middle of BFE when it happened so I disassembled it and bent the bracket back flat, and added a strand of tie wire between it and the injector pump to hold it down temporarily. I notified the dealership immediately upon my return to town, and it has been a battle ever since. The dealer said mahindra is only offering a replacement with the stock parts (which failed almost immediately upon delivery). I contacted mahindra corporate and they said they will not cover it because I have a stage 1 tune (salesman assured me it would have no impact on warranty). The fact that there are so many aftermarket intake hold down solutions available tells me I am not the only one to have this issue. Diesel freak has a reasonably priced ($300ish) intake connection kit available that i think mahindra should be utilizing until they figure out how to keep the charged air in the system, but it is not being offered as a solution. Has anyone else out there had similar issues, and what has your resolution been?
