Maruti Suzuki said it is recalling 3,796 Ciaz manual transmission cars manufactured till 7th November 2014 to inspect and rectify a “suspected fault and replace the relevant part of clutch operation system.”
Nearly 13,000 Ciaz’s are on Indian roads.
“The Company has decided to undertake a Service Campaign for these cars, in the interest of customers. Maruti Suzuki dealers have started to communicate with owners of the impacted vehicles,” it said.
Maruti said the move should not be called a ‘recall’.
“Kindly note that the initiative for the Ciaz is not a recall. It is a Service Campaign undertaken in the interest of the customers to minimize any future inconvenience,” it said.
Service Campaigns are undertaken globally by automobile companies to rectify faults that may potentially cause inconvenience to customers.
