17,362 vehicles manufactured between December 8, 2022, and January 12, 2023, have been recalled by Maruti Suzuki. Baleno, Brezza, Eeco, Alto K10, S-Presso, and Grand Vitara are among the models affected.
These vehicles have a faulty airbag controller. The automaker will conduct a free recall, inspection, and replacement of the airbag control unit. In the event of an accident, this faulty part may prevent airbags and seat belt pretensioners from deploying.
Maruti Suzuki has also advised owners not to drive the affected vehicles until the part has been replaced. The owners will be contacted individually by the manufacturer.
