What is wrong
Actually, this problem lies in the design of the caliper of the Himalaya disc brake. It is said that the caliper is designed in such a way that it can suddenly be damaged by contact with salt. Significantly, in snowy areas, salt is used to remove frozen snow on the road, and it is dumped in large quantities. Now the bikes have been recalled to have new calipers installed in the front and rear brakes.
There may also be recalls elsewhere
At the same time, it is now assumed that some motorcycles of the same batch were also exported to Europe and Germany. On the other hand, due to extreme cold in some areas, a similar problem may occur. Although Royal Enfield is currently only recalling its motorcycles in America, motorcycles may also be recalled in Europe and Germany in the coming period.
two years ago why now
Now the biggest question is why the bike that was made two years ago suddenly broke now. So the answer is that the problem of the brake calipers due to the continuous salt exposure has been recognized for a long time.
