“The problem was noticed on the basis of internal quality checks undertaken by the company. Accordingly, proactive action has been initiated in the interest of customers,” Maruti said in a statement.
“From customer perspective, there is no concern if the right hand side door (front and rear) is completely latched. If however, the door is half-latched then the door may open if pressure is applied from inside. Although it is a rare condition, but in view of customer safety, the company is undertaking replacement of the door latch assembly, proactively.”
Owners can also check Maruti’s website to see if their cars are included in the recall.
