- The defect
- Royal Enfield North America Limited (Royal Enfield) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650 motorcycles. Road salt may cause corrosion on the brake calipers.
- What it can cause
- Corroded brake calipers may cause the brakes to drag or decrease braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4,403 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Royal Enfield North America Limited with NHTSA on February 3, 2021 as campaign 21V045000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
