- The 1.5-litre N/A petrol variants of the pre-facelift Hyundai Creta and the new-generation Verna were the first cars to be recalled in 2024 due to an issue in the electronic oil pump controller. This issue could potentially lead to a failure in delivering fuel to the engine at the correct pressure and quantity.
-
Over 2,500 units of both petrol and CNG variants of the Maruti Alto were also recalled due to an issue with the steering wheel assembly. This issue could possibly affect the steerability of the hatchback and hence was recalled voluntarily by the manufacturer.
-
14 units of Skoda Kushaq and Slavia and 38 units of the Volkswagen Taigun and Slavia were also recalled this year due to missing welds on the suspension arms. This issue could potentially make the cars unstable on the road, making them unfit to drive.
-
More than 92,000 units of old Honda cars produced between August 2017 and June 2018 had been voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer over a faulty fuel pump issue. These cars include old versions of the Honda City, Honda Amaze, Honda WR-V, Honda BR-V, Honda Brio and Honda Accord produced between the aforementioned timeline.
If the manufacturing date of your car falls within the timeline of the recalled cars, we recommend getting it checked as early as possible at your nearest authorised service centre. Even though the car might not show any signs of a manufacturing defect, it may be harmful in the long run.
