Over 1 lakh Suzuki Swifts recalled globally, Indian Swift not on the list

Japanese auto maker, Suzuki Motor Corp., has announced the recall of about 1,09,000 units of its model Swift, world-wide. The recall is to check and rectify the possible defect that may lead to petrol leakage. Most of the recalls are in the local (Japan) market, while other recalls are from EU, Australia and Mexico.

The Indian arm of Suzuki, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI), was prompt to clarify that this recall does not affect any Indian customer as the Swift sold in India is manufactured locally and not imported.

The Swift has been a runaway success for MSI in India and has helped MSI consolidate its market leader position when competitors were hitting hard on the company. The Swift is the bestselling car in the high-volume premium hatchback segment.
