BENGALURU (Reuters) -Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s top carmaker, said on Monday it was recalling a total of 87,599 S-Presso and Eeco vehicles to inspect and replace a possible defect in the vehicle’s steering system.
The defect is suspected to be in a part of the steering tie rod, which, in rare cases, may break and affect the vehicle’s steerability and handling, the company said in an exchange filing.
The recall, effective July 24, will cater to vehicles manufactured between July 5, 2021, and February 15, 2023, the carmaker added.
