Maruti Suzuki India Limited, one of India's largest carmakers, announced a voluntary recall of 19,731 EECO models to inspect and correct 'incorrect labelling of wheel rim size.' " Maruti Suzuki discovered that the wheel rim size on some EECO units built between July 19, 2021, and October 5, 2021, was erroneously marked during a routine inspection. This issue has no implication on performance, safety or environment," Maruti Suzuki said in a statement.

"Affected vehicle owners will be receiving communication from Maruti Suzuki authorized workshops for vehicle inspection and necessary rectification, if wheel rim size marking is found incorrect," the company said.

Customers can also visit the `Imp Customer Info` section on the Company website and fill in their vehicle chassis number (MA3 followed by a 14-digit alpha-numeric number) to check if their vehicle needs any attention in this regard. The chassis number is embossed on the vehicle ID plate and is also mentioned in the vehicle invoice/registration documents, it added.
