Maruti Suzuki has recalled some units of its Grand Vitara because the company has suspected a technical defect in it. In the recalled models, a part will be checked and re-fitted so that the safety of the vehicle is not affected. The company has sent a message to the customers advising them to bring the vehicle to the service center.
New Delhi. Maruti Suzuki has recalled 39,506 units of its SUV Grand Vitara. This decision of recall has been taken after a fault occurred in the vehicle. However, all these vehicles are made only at an interval of a few months. Therefore, if someone has bought a Grand Vitara before then he will not have to return the car. The company suspects that the fuel level indicator and warning light present in the speedometer assembly of these vehicles are not showing correct information in some cases, which can cause problems and safety hazards during driving.
Giving information to the exchange, Maruti Suzuki said that this recall will be applicable to those vehicles which are manufactured between December 9, 2024 and April 29, 2025. A total of 39,506 units have been recalled for safety reasons.
what is wrong
The company said that the fuel level indicator and warning light installed in the speedometer unit can give wrong information in some cases. This means that the driver will not know the exact fuel status which can pose a challenge during long distance or highway driving. Maruti Suzuki said that affected customers will be contacted directly and asked to visit the nearest authorized dealership. The vehicles will be thoroughly inspected and if any part is found defective, it will be replaced free of cost. The company has made it clear that this step has been taken keeping in mind road safety and customer safety.
Maruti has already done recall
Even before this, Maruti Suzuki has recalled many of its models due to safety reasons. In December 2022, the company recalled 17362 units due to a possible defect in the airbag controller. From this it is clear that the company is more alert than before about any security related problem.
