The leaked document doesn’t have any mention of the total numbers of the affected units. Though, it includes engine prefix, VIN prefix and chassis numbers. The service advisors have been asked to check if a vehicle comes to the workshop with complaint of sticky steering wheel movement and abnormal noise. The company has specified that the steering replacement will be done free of cost.
Talking about Maruti Suzuki’s future plan, the carmaker will soon roll out the updated version of the Vitara Brezza SUV. Recently, the prototype of the 2020 Maruti Vitara Brezza was caught on camera. Reports suggest that the SUV’s facelifted model could see a release at the 2020 Auto Expo.
This time around, the Vitara Brezza will receive a new 1.5L, 4-cylinder petrol engine with SHVS mild hybrid technology. It delivers a top power of 103.5bhp and 138Nm of torque. Transmission choices might include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque convertor automatic. The same petrol powertrain will be introduced on the Maruti Suzuki S-Cross model lineup.
