New Delhi:
Maruti Suzuki India on Wednesday said it is recalling 17,362 units of models such as the Alto K10, Brezza and Baleno to test and replace a faulty airbag controller.
The country’s largest carmaker said in a regulatory filing that the affected models are Alto K10, S-Presso, Eeco, Brezza, Baleno and Grand Vitara, manufactured between December 8, 2022 and January 12, 2023.
It added, “The recall is being conducted to inspect and replace the airbag controller in these vehicles, if needed, free of charge.”
The auto major said that it is suspected that there is a possible defect in the affected part, which in rare cases may result in non-deployment of airbags and seat belt pretensioners in the event of a vehicle crash.
It said, out of an abundance of caution, customers of the suspect vehicles are advised not to drive or use the vehicle until the affected part has been replaced.
The company said that affected vehicle owners will receive communication from Maruti Suzuki authorized workshops for immediate attention.
