As per the details made public by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , brake calipers on the Royal Enfield Himalayan are more susceptible to corrosion especially when exposed to salt used to clear the roads during winter in the foreign countries. The corrosion on brake calipers can reduce the braking performance of the motorcycle and increase the brake noise.

The company has further informed that replacement of the standard brake calipers with anodized units would address the issue. This came to light after a detailed analysis of the situation was done seeking technical assistance with brake experts Brembo and Bosch. RE further announced that it will replace both the brake calipers (front as well as rear) on the bike free of charge on all the affected units of the Himalayan ADV. It would team up with the local RE dealer partners to get the faulty parts replaced as soon as possible.

The company is yet to share details for the affected units in other countries including India. However, since there is only minimal (or nil) exposure to clearing salts given the weather conditions in the country, chances are less likely for the bike units in India to be part of any recall. However, it is recommended to check with your nearest dealership for more details in case the motorcycle is showing signs of brake wear, dragging or any unwanted noise.
