NEW DELHI, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- In a recent development that has created quite a sensation in the Indian car market, leading Indian car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India has decided to recall its popular A-star model. While this may not result in the company losing a lot of money it definitely can leave a scar on its image as a manufacturer of reliable and sturdy cars. In fact, this year has brought woes for all three leading Japanese carmakers-Honda, Toyota and Suzuki. While Toyota Motor is reeling under a massive global recall, Honda also decided to recall Honda sedans a few weeks back. The latest to hop into the recall Bandwagon is Maruti Suzuki.
The company has revealed that it started recalling the defective A-Star models but kept it under wraps. As per the information available, around 1 lakh models of the car fall under the recall. It may give rise to the question why the company chose to keep the information under wraps for more than 2 months. The news of A-Star recall may not go down well with the prospective customers of Maruti Suzuki. While Toyota cars have been recalled owing to accelerator problem, the issue with the A-Star is its fuel tank.
The news of Maruti A-Star recall, as one can expect has left an impact on the share value of the company. On Tuesday, it went down over 3 percent. The details of the recall are likely to be revealed soon. RC Bhargava, who is the chairman of the company said that Maruti Suzuki is committed to the safety of the customers.

Maruti A Star will be launched with automatic variant too. This will help all the buyers who need a mileage giving automatic car |
A Star already has a great mileage and powerful engine and its Maruti, hence the mileage will be very much reliable. Go for A Star Automatic

I bought ZXi of AStar nealy 5 months back and I proudly feel good about my decision to buy this car. For me safety was main concern for me and my family when we are on the road and this car fulfills my this requirement very well. With ABS and Airbags in place I cannot ask for something more in small car.if you are looking for a high speed in controlled car then this is best option for you in small segment |
