The recall of 9,925 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis vehicles built between August 3, 2022, and September 1, 2022, has been notified by Maruti Suzuki India Limited.

The company further added “Parts for replacement are being arranged and Maruti Suzuki authorized workshops shall be contacting the customers for attending their vehicles. Necessary repair, if required, will be undertaken post-inspection.”
