What's wrong?
The side and rear reflectors on the 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan, Classic 350, Meteor 350, Hunter 350, Super Meteor 650, Int 650, and Continental GT 650 motorcycles are passive safety parts. They do not make their own light. Their job is to bounce light from another vehicle's headlamps so the motorcycle is easier to see from the side and rear.
On affected motorcycles, the reflector parts did not meet the required reflective performance. Royal Enfield traced the problem to molding tool cleanliness at the supplier. When the molding tool was not adequately cleaned, the finished reflector lost enough reflective operation to fall short of the lighting standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The reflector still sits on the motorcycle, so an owner is unlikely to notice the issue during a normal walkaround.
Who's affected?
Spans seven Royal Enfield motorcycle models from the 2023 model year, all tied to the same side reflector.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the proper side and rear reflectors, other road users have less visibility of the motorcycle from the rear or side, which increases crash risk. Ride with extra caution in traffic and low light, and schedule the reflector replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Royal Enfield dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Classic 350, Himalayan, Hunter 350, Int 650, Meteor 350, or Continental GT 650 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Royal Enfield dealer to schedule the free side and rear reflector replacement, which restores the required rear and side visibility equipment.
- Bring the recall notice if Royal Enfield mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V713 when you call.
- Ride with extra visibility in mind until the repair is complete, especially from the rear and side.
- Call Royal Enfield customer service at 1-866-600-1122 with questions about scheduling or recall number SC-43.
