RE Himalayan Recalled In The US For Faulty Brakes
Dealers will replace the front and rear brake calipers free of charge, as part of the recall.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan has been recalled in the US, for a “loss of brake function from caliper corrosion”. Nearly 5,000 units are being recalled stateside.
RE has stated that ‘the salt used to treat roads’ is the reason for this development. In the US, roads are treated with salt during the winter season. This is to melt the huge amount of snow and ice.

RE Himalayan Recalled In The US
Brembo – the supplier of the brake calipers on the Royal Enfield Himalayan along with the company’s braking component suppliers Bosch for ABS helped deduce the issue. The company received the feedback in the UK market but has currently extended to the US.
Bybre has likely used a different type of coating to prevent corrosion or there must be a change in braking hardware altogether with models manufactured after 2021.
The statement further added that the precautionary service intervention for brake caliper replacement in markets across Europe, the UK, and Korea is underway.

Indian Units Affected Too?
The Royal Enfield Himalayan models in India are not impacted by the latest recall. Given that treating roads with salt to clear snow and ice is not a standard practice in India, we would wager Indian models are not affected.
