Royal Enfield Bikes Produced Between 2022-2023 Recalled To Resolve This Issue; Is Your RE Bike Affected? Find Out Here
Royal Enfield has issued a recall for all bikes to address a potential issue with rear and side reflectors, which was identified during routine testing.
Mumbai, October 3: The Chennai-headquartered Royal Enfield has issued a recall for all motorcycles manufactured between November 2022 and March 2023. The brand’s entire product portfolio – from the Hunter 350 to the Continental GT 650, is being recalled over faulty reflectors. The legendary two-wheeler manufacturer has decided to address a potential issue with rear and side reflectors, identified during routine testing. The company said some motorcycles may not meet the required reflective performance standards.
This potential issue could make reflectors fail to reflect light as effectively as required and the issue could reduce road safety during low-light conditions. Now, the brand says that the problem was identified on select motorcycles, but has gone forward recalling all RE bikes manufactured during the said period to rectify the issue with the affected ones.

RE will initiate the recall programme in a phased manner, starting with customers in South Korea, the United States and Canada - followed by other markets like India, Brazil, Latin America, Europe and the United Kingdom.
