The 2017 Royal Enfield Himalayan has 2 recalls, both centered on brake caliper corrosion that can reduce or completely eliminate braking ability, raising the risk of a crash.
Road salt and general corrosion over time can attack the brake calipers in two ways: in more severe cases the calipers lose function outright, while in others they begin to drag, causing the brakes to overheat and fade. Dragging brakes may also produce noise, a burning smell, or make the motorcycle harder to push or accelerate normally.
