Maruti Recalls Grand Vitara After Fault Detected in Fuel Status Display

The Maruti Grand Vitara has been called back for a safety check after the company found a problem with the fuel level indicator in some units. A total of 39,506 SUVs built between December 9, 2024 and April 29, 2025 are covered under this recall. The aim is to fix an issue that may cause the fuel gauge or the warning light to show the wrong fuel level which can confuse the driver

Why The Maruti Grand Vitara Has Been Recalled

Maruti Suzuki has stated that a part inside the speedometer unit may not give the correct fuel reading. Because of this the driver might think the tank has more fuel than it actually does. This can lead to unexpected situations especially on long drives or highways

• The fuel level indicator may show the wrong fuel quantity
• The low-fuel warning light may not turn on at the right time
• Drivers may be misled about how much fuel is left

Even though the company has not received any reports of accidents or issues caused by this defect, the recall has been started as a precaution. The brand wants to make sure that owners continue to have trust in the SUV’s safety and reliability

How The Recall Will Be Carried Out

Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that all owners of the affected units will be contacted by authorized workshops. Owners will be asked to bring their SUVs for a checkup

What Customers Need To Do

• Visit the nearest service center once they receive the message
• Get the speedometer unit inspected
• Allow the team to replace the faulty part if needed

The entire replacement will be done free of cost even if the vehicle is out of warranty

• Hybrid options with high fuel efficiency
• Wide service network
• Smooth drive quality
• AWD option for better control
• Multiple fuel types including petrol, CNG, and PHEV

What Impact The Recall May Have

Since the issue is minor and the company is fixing it proactively, the recall is not expected to create a long term impact on sales. Customers usually appreciate quick and transparent action on quality matters, and Maruti Suzuki has acted early

However the coming months may bring new challenges as the segment is expected to get hotter with new launches such as:

• The new Tata Sierra
• The next-gen Renault Duster
• Nissan Tekton
• The next-gen Kia Seltos (global reveal on December 10)

Along with this another model from Maruti’s own lineup, Victoris, has already started drawing attention with its modern design and loaded features. This means the Grand Vitara may face pressure from outside competitors as well as from within its own family

What Owners Should Do Now

If an owner suspects that their Maruti Grand Vitara is part of the recall they can contact the nearest Nexa service center. Service teams will help verify the VIN and confirm whether the SUV needs inspection

The focus of this recall is safety, accuracy, and customer assurance. Maruti Suzuki continues to highlight that this step is part of its quality commitment toward all customers
