The passenger car market leader announced that it will recall 47,237 units of the Swift hatchback, 42,481 units of the DZire compact sedan, and another 13,593 units of its multi-passenger vehicle Ertiga. "This exercise is limited to vehicles within the above specified range and does not pertain to any other vehicle of the company," the company said in a statement on Friday.
Maruti's admission comes three days after the media had reported on the faulty fuel tank neck pipe that had affected a large number of cars, and could even lead to fuel smell and spillage in extreme cases. The company admitted that there could be some fuel leakage if it is filled up to the cap, beyond the 'auto cut-off level'.
The automaker has informed its dealers who would contact owners of the affected vehicles and replace the 'fuel filler neck' free of cost. The company has also put out the list of customers who have bought their cars after November 12, 2013, and can also be checked at its website from April 11 onwards. The new fuel filler necks are being dispatched to the dealer workshops.
The company has informed the government on this engineering flaw and has also sent a communication to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers pertaining to the recall.The recall is the company's largest after its recall of around one lakh A-Star hatchback in February 2010 to replace a faulty fuel pump part
