What is wrong

What can happen
Corroded brake calipers may cause the brakes to drag or decrease braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Royal Enfield will notify owners, and dealers will replace front and rear calipers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 15, 2021. Owners may contact Royal Enfield customer service at 1-866-600-1122.
