Remedy. Dealers will replace the front and rear brake calipers, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Royal Enfield's customer service at 1-866-600-1122. Royal Enfield's number for this recall is SC-31.

THE MOTORCYCLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. NOT JUST THE ENGINE, BUT EVERYTHING. LIGHTS, GUAGES, TURN SIGNALS. IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE PULLED OUT THE KEY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NORMAL OPERATION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MANUFACTURER CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS CONDITION, DESPITE IT BEING REPORTED BY OTHER USERS.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
