In the USA, 4,891 Himalayans must be taken to the workshop. Royal Enfield is recalling all models delivered between 2017 and 2021 and replacing the brake caliper of the front and rear brakes. The reason is corrosion in the brake piston guide, which can lead to jamming of the brake piston. The corrosion is triggered by road salt on the roads during winter operation.
The installed brake calipers from Brembo subsidiary Bybre are painted, according to NHTSA, and will be exchanged for identical examples with an anodized surface, which should solve the problem of corrosion caused by salt ingress.
Recall in Europe?
Officially, there is no known recall for the Royal Enfield Himalayan in Europe (yet), but the American documents state that the recall applies to the EU, UK, Korea, Japan and USA.
Old problem rediscovered
The recall of Bybre saddles is not new. BMW Motorrad already recalled the C 400 X, G 310 R and G 310 GS models in the U.S. in 2019 - due to the same problem. And even the 650 models from Royal Enfield got new brakes, as MOTORRAD experienced in an endurance test over 50,000 kilometers on an Interceptor 650.
