For my vehicle he said, its not urgent so I can get it done at my convenience, planning to go next month by my own to check what exactly are they changing.

Anyone else who got a similar call here?

Is yours a petrol? I remember that petrol Thars ended up overheating during offroading (not observed on tarmac at all) - can't quite place if someone told me this or if I read it here in TBHP, while diesel Thars did not (mine is diesel too, didn't have any such).

Either way, it's good the M&M is proactively addressing this - my diesel AT Thar has seen 11 such proactive service actions, and only of them actually affected me, that too in a very minor way (saw some drops of oil on the floor and took it in to MASS). Huge props to this proactiveness!

@ph03n!x mine is a diesel too, never had the over heating issue, but still they are fixing it up.

Btw mine had only two recalls so far and one issue that they did

1. Bonnet Hood Lock
2. Some plastic breather / cap (completely forgot what it was)

and then the car was limping so they changed the engine wiring harness.

Can you please list out the 11 proactive things they fixed on your THAR seems like if they have not done it for me, I will have to get the check list fixed.

I had listed them here, under the Service Experience part. Mind you though, my Thar is from the first batch - and later batches may have had the fixes from factory itself!

8000 kms later. No leaky roofs. No more recalls. No DPF issues. I use my car daily. Multiple long trips with family and for carrier and interior mods to Noida have been fantastic. Done multiple off roading tracks with full load in village roads/no roads. No issue with wheel alignment etc. However I did notice oil particles seeping into the cabin around the central vents too. But the cabin otherwise always remains fresh. The diesel engine always feels fresh and non fussy. The A/T gearbox works fine though a bit jerky at times esp doing quick shifts between R P and D. The steering takes more muscle to hold onto on longer trips though but that's doable. Reading all the DSG issues on German cars etc has given me some confidence back for Mahindra/Toyota. Getting a fortuner 4x4 AT soon. I have realised in general auto buyers are a very troubled lot in our country be it a desi/videsi brand because the lack of consumer protection is not going away any sooner. Have planned many more trips on my Thar. It has reignited my passion of driving and I am extremely happy with it. I take it to places where I wouldn't dare to take my other cars. Being a royal enfield owner for a long time I am very patient with my vehicles and feel if the vehicle is bringing your family back to home without issues it's worth it. A few minor niggles was never a deal breaker.

Hello, Want to check-in and see if anyone else facing the issue of Driver Seat Jerk while gliding over a bump or speedbreaker at low to dead stop speed?

The Jerk is so prominent that the whole seat moves as if the seat holding bolts are loose, which isn't the case. We always keep the seat height to its lowest setting and tried other height settings too, but the case is same with any level of adjustment.

Been facing this issue for sometime now, almost from the time the vehicle came home. But never gave importance to the issue, off late the Jerk became so prominent that the whole lower back is taking its own toll afterwards.

vaguely I remember reading in one of our thar threads about the Driver Seat giving a Jerk while gliding over bumps or speed breakers, but couldn't find any concrete solution info. Hence posting here. Would greatly appreciate if any body have any solution

Alot of members here seem to be actively reached out by Mahindra for recalls and fixes. Are there people who haven't been reached out to even once ? I have a May 21 D AT HT and haven't been reached out to even once for any of the recalls or fixes.

I did not get any calls for recalls or fixes. However 3 fixes were applied to my car when it went for 10k kms service last week. My car is July 2021 Thar Diesel Auto.

Fixes-
1. Waterproofing coupler for front axle electric hub locks coupler.
2. Some nipple changed on Automatic gearbox.
3. Electric radiator fan fuse revised to 50A. Sticker on fusebox also changed.

Hi guys, I'm at around 7k kms on all new Thar. Last weekend, I had been driving inside the forest as part of some volunteering activity. while returning from a round in the night, I suddenly started to get a loud screeching noise from the left wheel, it was really loud as if large piece of metal is grinding.
Things I checked.
1> comparing distance between disk and pad on working and affected wheel and it perceived to be same
2> comparing temperature of disk on working and affected wheels and found to be same, not very hot, I can easily touch them with bare fingers
3> turning the wheels a bit may seem to reduce the noise but not possible on tight trail I'm moving on
4> poured a bottle of water between the disk and pad on affected wheel, dont see any difference post that

I drove back to the camp that was about 2-3 kms with that loud grinding noise, tried riding hard and braking hard a couple times during this ride, noise still present. parked there and hoped it should be alright by morning.
I see the same situation in the morning as well, the loud grinding noise is present.
I tried forward/reverse a short distance, braking hard again, noise still present.
I fully turned the wheels in on one side (I remember turning wheels a bit last night seems to have some impact on sound), drove reverse and forward with the wheel fully turned a couple of times and the noise is gone.
I have driven another 200 kms inside the forest post the incident but it has not reappeared, then driven 200kms back home, haven't seen the problem resurfacing.
Any ideas what it could be? Should I take it to ASC for them to take a look?
Thanks in advance.

There might be a pebble stuck between brake disc and the plate behind it. Happens a lot on many cars on gravel roads. I have experienced the same in Skoda Laura(Khardung La pass) and Isuzu V-Cross(Baralacha la pass).

Mine is Sept 2021 mfg, delivered in Nov 2021. I have not received any calls yet. I've read about few members getting calls for certain items and they are also covering them during regular service. I'm yet to receive any call. Waiting to see what they change as part of service call / recall when I go for 10k service.

I was facing similar issue.
Also backrest for driver seat was a little bit rotated and the recliner used to slip in bumps etc . After a lot of tries to fix it, the seat structure for top part was replaced under warranty.

Also if you set seat height to the lowest setting some spring the whole seat get's unsettled during jerks. My understanding is the springs are targeted for drivers weighing between 60-80kg.
The heavier tall drivers who like to keep the seat to the lowest setting this issues is more prominent

Just put the seat on lowermost setting and just give it a little bit jerk towards back side and the spring will bottom out. I have tried this even in brand new Thar.

Hey guys, I know people have reported issues with Android auto disconnection etc. Has anyone found a solution, is there a software update for ICE that might fix this?

I am facing the following issues.

1. The unit does not always pick up my phone even when connecting with a cable. The only way then to get it to connect is to switch of the engine and restart.
2. Occasional disconnection issues. While running it just disconnects randomly and auto connects again.
3. Wireless android auto mode not working at all.
4. Many times when spotify is playing and I receive a call, the unit switches back to radio and won't go back to android auto/spotify again. The only way is then to switch off and restart.

Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same issues with Android Auto in my 2021 Thar. I use Oneplus 8 Pro with Mi/Oneplus cables.

• Many times when the car is started for the first time, Bluetooth and Android Auto don't connect, they do connect automatically with a restart.
  
• Sometimes, once every few hours, Android Auto disconnects and connects back on its own.
  
• Sometimes when I take a call, the Audio shifts back to FM, from Spotify or Spotify through Bluetooth.
  
• There is no way to specify media player to Automatically play from Android Auto/Bluetooth audio whenever the car is started. It starts on FM Radio. Same irritating feature carried forward from XUV-500.

Has anyone had their stereo or harness replaced by Mahindra? I have texted some people - the more voices I can have to this, the better.

Primary reason - android disconnection.

The AFE in my 2022 Thar Petrol is not correct. I did a Tank to Tank and it was 13.2, while the AFE was showing me 11.2.
The second issue is some-sound from the Hardtop but only when I am driving on bad roads, its a sweet khat-khat sound. Have driven the vehicle 8200 kms so in another 2 weeks to 3 weeks, shall get it serviced and then checked.
The low-fuel warning is not correct, one day it started beeping when there was 13 liters or fuel still left and Thar was standing on flat surface.
Then another day, it started beeping when there was only 4 liters of fuel left and post that blinking symbol, it did not show DTE at all, just hyphens.
Bluetooth connectivity is a hit and miss for me. Works sometimes and does not works other times.
