Toyota India Recalls 9,498 Units Of The Urban Cruiser

Toyota’s authorised service centers will contact owners of the affected vehicles for inspection. If the said part is faulty, Toyota will replace it at no cost. The Urban Cruiser is simply a Vitara Brezza underneath, but the latter seems to be unaffected, as there's no word from Maruti Suzuki regarding this issue.

A recall from a well-reputed carmaker might sound disappointing, but it's good to see Toyota taking this step to avoid any untoward incidents.

On the safety front, Toyota offers the Urban Cruiser with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, front seat belt reminder, rear parking sensors and a rear parking camera. Talking about the Global NCAP rating, the SUV hasn't yet been tested, but the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza fared good with 4 out of 5 stars.
