It’s yet another recall from Maruti within a span of just over a month. This time around, the manufacturer is recalling 17,362 vehicles due to a faulty airbag controller. The affected models include the Alto K10, S-Presso, Eeco, Brezza, Baleno, and Grand Vitara; all the models that have been manufactured between December 08 and January 12. 

A faulty airbag controller could result in the airbags and seat belt pretensioners not deploying in the unfortunate event of a crash. Maruti’s authorised service centres would contact affected vehicles, inspect the faulty part, and if replacement is required, it will be done at no cost at all.
