New Delhi: Automobile companies carry out service recalls to rectify potential problems that are discovered in existing products. Maruti Suzuki has announced that a total of 52,685 units of the new Swift and Baleno will be recalled.
The models manufactured between 1st December 2017 and 16th March 2018 are affected. These cars are expected to have a fault in the brake vacuum hose.
The owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted by dealers for inspection from May 14, 2018, onwards. It is expected that the faulty part will be replaced.
Like other service recalls, this will be done free of cost.
