Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
All electrical connections, including relays, on the bike have white lithium grease. In wet conditions there are faults causing engine to stall or not start. Lithium should never be used on electrical connections. Silicone would be appropriate. This is a manufacturing problem that needs to be addressed.
Motorcycle will not start and idle consistently and it is believed that it is due to anyone of the following: TPS sensor, idle screw adjustment, throttle body, and/or ECU programming. If it is not any of these components, then it is an unknown problem. Motorcycle will oftentimes stall after starting or while riding in traffic which puts my safety at risk since the motorcycle stalling while riding in traffic may result in an accident. Motorcycle has been taken to a dealer for warranty repair and dealer claimed they could not replicate the issue even though bike would not start/idle properly when I picked it up. This should also have included an inspection by authorized manufacturer representative. No warning lamps or other indicators. This has been happening since day one of ownership and I've only owned the motorcycle for a few months.
COLD ENGINE STARTS ARE UNSUCCECCFUL UNLESS YOU KEEP REVVING THE ENGINE. ENGINE WILL STALL ERRATICALLY, ie; RED LIGHTS,STOP SIGNS, EVEN WHEN YOU COAST[NO THROTTLE]. THERES A DANGER OF COLLISION [THATS OBVIOUS], WHEN YOUR ENGINE DIES IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OTHER 2022 ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN OWNERS. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT NOT EV ERY DEALER IS INNEPT ENOUGH OR TRAINED ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUES. THIS BIKE HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE 1ST DAY I GOT IT.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
