Recall on 650 Interceptors

N0rt0nelectr@ · Mar 20, 2021

I got a recall notice from RE today. It says that if you ride in the winter on salted roads that the brake calipers can seize.
Here is a copy of the recall.

They don’t get much salt on the roads in Chennai !

Actually this has been known about for a good while here in the U.K. But even so, my mate has been told there are no replacement calipers available yet...

I had mine checked last year, no issue found, but I hear they will be replacing the calipers anyway.

The same recall on some Harleys and KTM's with those brakes. They are being changed before Enfield get theirs I am told.
Indian made models?

Are the replacement callipers different?

They might have found a stainless bar to make the pistons!

Are those the same calipers Suzuki used in early SV650s? Used mine all year round and had to strip and clean the rear caliper at least once every winter. Dealer told me it was because I was daft enough to ride it in winter!

They are ByBre which apparently is an abbreviation of "by Brembo". I was quite surprised to see the other names they own...

Got mine done 10 days ago. I don't see any difference in the breaking.

I was talking with a knowledgeable Enfield guy t'other day, I think he mumbled something about the brake pistons being coated??
With what I don't recall, but it seems they got materials wrong....
Or did I get that wrong? Anybody?
