Maruti Suzuki on Monday said it is recalling 11,177 units of its mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) Grand Vitara to rectify a possible defect in the rear seat belt mounting bracket.
The affected lots were manufactured between August 8, 2022 and November 15, 2022, the country’s largest carmaker said in a regulatory filing.
“It is suspected that there is a possible defect in the rear seat belt mounting bracket which may, in a rare case, loosen in the long run and affect its functionality,” it said.
The auto maker said that vehicle owners will get free communication from the company’s authorized dealer workshops for inspection and replacement of the affected parts.
Last week, the auto major announced that it is recalling 17,362 units of the Alto K10, Brezza and Baleno to inspect and replace faulty airbag controllers.
The affected models – Alto K10, S-Presso, Eeco, Brezza, Baleno and Grand Vitara – were manufactured between December 8, 2022 and January 12, 2023.
