The recall, if issued, will be the largest recall of a single car model in India

The affected vehicles, manufactured in 2013 and 2014, will see a replacement of the defective component, the fuel neck filler, which is connected to the fuel tank. The supplier for the said component is JBM, in which Maruti itself has a 29.28% stake

ACI is also running the news now. But even they are not so sure.

Maruti may recall 1.5 lakh Dzires

The recall if confirmed will surely be put by the MSIL website. The last recall for changing the steering column had a page for customers to check the status of their cars with the VIN.

I'm a 2013 Dzire owner - so will be watching this space. Can anyone explain what are the implications of this faulty part - Was not able to gather the same from the few reports that I read. Thanks.

OK - so the recall is about a loose fitting fuel cap.

Yes, This could cause the fuel to leak and/or evaporate from the filler neck that is loose as per Maruti!

As expected, due to part sharing, looks like the recall is extended to include the Swift and Ertiga as well. Looks like vehicles are going to be called in from as early as April 15th. More details below.

Thanks for the link as I had already expected this when I saw the recall only was for Swift Dzire. Since Maruti uses same parts for Swift, Swift Dzire and Ertiga in many areas of the cars, problem must be faced by all three.

I did get in contact with my service advisor regarding this issue. He said he will get back to me with details regarding this and when should my car be brought in for the replacement, if needed.

Shall update the thread as and when I get an update.

Could be our couldn't be affected. But AFAIK & IIRC the fuel opener neck etc ask look same in the Ritz, Swift, Swift Dzire and Ertiga. So it better to ask your service advisor regarding the recall status.

Wait for the VIN/batch or manufacturing dates which MUL should put up. Accordingly, getting in touch with MASS should help, if MUL has updated them with replacement parts & VIN nos.

Looks like Maruti has already started the recall and is also recalling swift and ertiga with the dzire.
