In July, GM recalled 114,000 Tavera vehicles built between 2005 and 2013. It had earlier halted production and sale of the Tavera BS3 and Tavera BS4 models. BS3 and BS4 refer to emission standards in India.
General Motors fired several employees after an internal probe into the Tavera recall uncovered “violations of company policy”.
The company has restarted production and sales of diesel Sails which were stopped on 3 June, General Motors India said in statement on Tuesday.
It is now awaiting approval for a technical solution to the emission issue to restart Tavera production and sale, the company said, adding that the approval was expected soon.
