The carmaker will be inspecting all the 63,493 petrol SHVS vehicles of the Ciaz, Ertiga and XL6 for a possible issue with the Motor Generator Unit (MGU), as a defect may have occurred in the MGU during manufacturing by an overseas global part supplier. Maruti Suzuki conducts such recall campaigns to rectify faults that may be potential safety defects.
