1,34,885 Units of Maruti Wagon R and Maruti Baleno To Be Recalled

Maruti Suzuki has announced the recall for a number of Maruti Baleno and Maruti Wagon R. Accordingly, there are around 56,663 units of the Maruti Wagon R along with 78,222 units of the Baleno to be recalled this time. In total, the number of vehicles needed to be inspected is 1,34,885 units.

According to the recall announcement, all the 1.0-litre Maruti Wagon R produced from between November 15 2018  to October 15 last year will be included on this voluntary recall campaign. All the Baleno cars manufactured from January 8 to November 4 2019 are also a part of the recalling plan. The voluntary recall is said to be a proactive measurement against possible issues with the fuel pump.

Since it is a voluntary recall, the car manufacturer will inspect and replace the faulty parts free of charge. After the recall is announced, the authorized dealership of Maruti Suzuki will contact the owners of all affected car owners. The owners can also make contact to the dealer that sold them cars for further information.
