New Delhi: The country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India is likely to recall about one lakh units of its compact sedan Swift Dzire to replace a faulty fuel tank part.
The company officials have refused to confirm nor deny the development. Industry sources said the firm has already initiated replacement of the faulty fuel neck filler, which is connected to the fuel tank, in unsold units at dealerships.
The company sold 197,685 units of Dzire in 2013-14 fiscal. In March, the company sold 17,237 units of the car in the domestic market. Priced between Rs 4.85-7.32 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the Swift Dzire is the second-largest selling car in the country.
Last year, MSIL had recalled 1,492 units of Ertiga, Swift, Dzire and A-Star models produced in October 2013 to rectify a possible problem with steering column.
The last big recall made by the company was in February 2010 when it recalled about one lakh units of its flagship export model “A-Star” to replace a faulty fuel pump part.
