Royal Enfield to recall 15,200 motorbikes from abroad as precautionary step

Firm discovers corrosion that can cause an unusual braking sound, increased brake drag and may also impact braking action

Royal Enfield has decided to recall 15,200 vehicles from various international markets after it discovered a brake caliper corrosion related issue.

This is a precautionary service intervention, and will be undertaken across the UK, the rest of Europe and Korea, said the company.

Around 15,200 motorcycles sold in these markets will be called in with immediate effect, for inspection, cleaning and part replacement, if required, said the company.

Upon investigation, it was revealed that this corrosion is brought about by sustained, long-term exposure to riding on roads treated with certain salts, to prevent formation of ice during winters.
