Important Safety Recall Information Safety Recall Campaign# Dear Royal Enfield Dealers, Royal Enfield North America (RENA) (A Unit of Eicher Motors Ltd.), has determined to conduct a voluntary safety-related recall in the United States covering Himalayan models. RENA has discovered a brake caliper corrosion-related issue in a very small number of Himalayan models. RENA has received no reports or complaints from our dealers or customers related to this concern. Description of the concern outside of North America: Royal Enfield has discovered a brake caliper corrosion-related issue in a very small number of Himalayan model motorcycles in some specific countries outside of North America. Upon investigation, it was revealed 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 winters. This corrosion causes damage to the brake caliper piston bore and assemblies, and can result in unusual braking sound, increased brake drag, unusual difficulty in pushing the motorcycle manually and may impact braking action. Royal Enfield of North America will begin notifying the affected customers regarding the recall through mail the week of February 6, 2023. The brake calipers both front and rear will be replaced through this process. PLEASE BE ADVISED, IT’S A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW FOR A DEALER TO DELIVER A NEW MOTOR VEHICLE COVERED BY THE NOTIFICATION UNDER A SALE OR LEASE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REMEDIED Please find attached: 1. The service circular (shows visual difference between anodized and non-anodized) 2. Technical reference material (from service manual) 3. Campaign claim / reimbursement process 4.

Do not allow brake fluid to come in contact with any parts of the motorcycle as brake fluid has highly corrosive properties. CLEANING  Clean master cylinder filler cap before removing.  Use only fresh brake fluid to clean rubber and other parts of the hydraulic brake system. DO NOT use any petroleum based cleaning solvents, water or detergents etc. INSPECTION:  Inspect brake fluid level is always between the MAX and MIN level markings in the reservoir.  Prior to riding the motorcycle every time, check brake disc inside and outside surfaces carefully for any contamination with oil, grease, slippery substances, brake fluid etc. as these will render the braking system ineffective. In case of any contamination, wash the brake disk with water and mild detergent to remove the contaminations, clean well with a good degreasing agent, blow compressed air to dry the brake disc thoroughly.  Inspect brake hose joints; reservoir and wheel caliper ends for any traces of fluid seepage or leaks. Check and correct the leaks immediately, if any noticed.  Inspect Brake hoses for any damage, cracks or cuts, ageing etc and replace damaged parts immediately.  Inspect brake pads for embedded foreign objects, abnormal wear, age hardening of friction material etc.  Inspect and ensure the pads are not worn out beyond the wear indication limit marks on the pads. Replace pads as soon as they have reached the wear limit marks  Check rubber seals on the plunger for wear, cracked edges or any other damage. Replace seals whenever the plunger is removed  Check master cylinder housing and piston for any scoring, pitting due to corrosion or any other damages.  Check the master cylinder bore for any damages, scoring marks etc.  Check piston outside surfaces for any damages, scoring marks, corrosion etc. Replace pistons if any of the above is observed. CAUTION:  Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 grade brake fluid from a sealed container. Do not mix different types of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.  Whenever the disc brake system is overhauled, ensure that the old fluid is drained out completely and then filled with fresh brake fluid ONLY from a sealed container.  In case of any brake fluid contamination in the brake system, the contaminated brake fluid must be flushed out completely from the entire system, the internal parts cleaned well, filled with fresh brake fluid and the brake system bleeding must be carried out. 8 S.

Important Safety Recall Information Safety Recall Campaign#23V129 Dear Royal Enfield Dealers, Royal Enfield North America (RENA) (A Unit of Eicher Motors Ltd.), has determined to conduct a voluntary safety-related recall in the United States covering Himalayan models. RENA has discovered a brake caliper corrosion-related issue in a very small number of Himalayan models. RENA has received no reports or complaints from our dealers or customers related to this concern. Description of the concern outside of North America: Royal Enfield has discovered a brake caliper corrosion-related issue in a very small number of Himalayan model motorcycles in some specific countries outside of North America. Upon investigation, it was revealed 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 winters. This corrosion causes damage to the brake caliper piston bore and assemblies, and can result in unusual braking sound, increased brake drag, unusual difficulty in pushing the motorcycle manually and may impact braking action. Royal Enfield of North America will begin notifying the affected customers regarding the recall through mail the week of February 6, 2023. The brake calipers both front and rear will be replaced through this process. PLEASE BE ADVISED, IT’S A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW FOR A DEALER TO DELIVER A NEW MOTOR VEHICLE COVERED BY THE NOTIFICATION UNDER A SALE OR LEASE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REMEDIED Please find attached: 1.
