Recall Alert: 75,419 Units of Baleno and 1,961 Dzire AGS Affected

Maruti Suzuki in an official communication has confirmed that they are proactively and voluntarily recalling 75,419 units of their premium hatchback Baleno and 1,961 units of Dzire AMT. This move comes days after they organised a service campaign for 20,427 units of S-Cross to inspect a suspected fault resulting in seepage in brake calipers.

Balenos, both petrol and diesel, manufactured between August 3, 2015 and May 17, 2016 have been recalled to upgrade the airbag software controller. Of these, 15,995 diesel Balenos, manufactures between August 3, 2015 and March 22, 2016 will also be inspected and serviced for replacement for a faulty fuel filter.
