Maruti Suzuki recalls 75,419 Baleno cars, 1,961 DZire cars (only AGS variant)

Barely a week after Maruti Suzuki announced the recall of 20427 units of S-Cross for brake replacement; the company has once again announced that it is recalling 75,419 Baleno cars and 1,961 DZire cars (only AGS variant). The company “will proactively and voluntarily recall 75,419 Baleno cars (petrol and diesel), manufactured between August 3, 2015 and May 17, 2016 to upgrade the airbag controller software. Of these, 15,995 Baleno cars (only diesel), manufactured between August 3, 2015 and March 22, 2016, will also be attended to for inspection and replacement of a faulty fuel filter. The Baleno cars covered in the recall include 17,231 units of exports,” the Maruti Suzuki communication to the Bombay Stock Exchange said.

In addition, 1,961 DZire diesel cars (only AGS variant) will be attended to for inspection and replacement of a faulty fuel filter.

“Starting 31 May 2016 owners of the vehicles covered will be contacted by Maruti Suzuki dealers. The software upgrade and the replacement of faulty fuel filter, will be done free of cost. To ascertain if their vehicle is covered, owners may check at www.nexaexperience.com for Baleno and at www.marutisuzuki.com for DZire Diesel (only AGS variant),” the communication noted.

Customers who are affected have been requested to fill in the chassis number (MA3 followed by 14 digit alpha-numeric number) on the computer screen. The chassis number is embossed on the vehicle ID plate and is also in the vehicle invoice/registration documents.
