Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Recall: 39,506 Units Affected in India Due to Faulty Fuel Warning Light

Maruti Suzuki has announced a recall covering 39,506 units of the Grand Vitara. These SUVs were manufactured between December 9, 2024, and April 29, 2025.

The company says the fuel level indicator and low-fuel warning light in some vehicles may not correctly show the fuel status. This could lead to inaccurate readings on the speedometer display.

What Owners Should Do

Owners of the affected vehicles will receive communication from authorised Maruti Suzuki workshops. They will be asked to bring in their SUV for inspection and replacement of the faulty speedometer assembly component, if required.

The work will be done free of cost. Vehicle owners can also check recall status online by entering their chassis number on Nexa’s official website.

The Grand Vitara is available with multiple powertrain choices. It comes with a 1.5L petrol engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox, and it is also offered with an AllGrip all-wheel-drive system in select variants. The model additionally features a strong-hybrid setup that combines Toyota’s 1.5L Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 109 bhp. Depending on the variant, the SUV is also offered in a CNG option, while fuel-efficiency figures vary across the petrol, hybrid and AWD versions. Prices for the model currently range between Rs 10.77 lakh and Rs 19.72 lakh (ex-showroom).

In August 2024, Maruti Suzuki also recalled 2,555 units of the Alto K10 over a suspected defect in the steering gearbox assembly. The company had stated that the issue could affect steering performance, and owners of the affected cars were advised not to drive their vehicles until the part was replaced.
