Recently, Royal Enfield announced a recall on 15,200 motorcycles across several overseas markets to fix a problem in the braking system in three of the brand's high-end models. These models are the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and the Himalayan. According to a statement by Royal Enfield, a brake calliper corrosion related issue has been discovered in a very small number of motorcycles in some specific countries. Upon investigation, it was found out that this corrosion is brought about by sustained, long-term exposure to riding on roads treated with certain salts, or a combination of salts, to prevent formation of ice during winter. The affected motorcycles were recalled in the UK, Korea and rest of Europe.
