Mahindra is proactively recalling certain units of Scorpio N and XUV700 due to a suspected defective rubber bellow inside the clutch bell housing of the manual variants of the SUVs. Mahindra dealerships will voluntarily call impacted buyers to examine and replace the problematic component on their cars. The faulty component is suspected to be present in around 6,618 units of the Scorpio N and 12,566 units of the XUV700.

Because of this flaw, the operating clearance of the rubber bellow may be affected, resulting in performance concerns. According to Mahindra, this issue occurred because of a quality control issue at the end of the part vendor. Mahindra will replace the defective part free of cost.
