These include 55,938 units of Dzire, 12,486 units of Swift and 1,131 units of Ritz manufactured between March 8, 2010 and August 11, 2013. The recall is only for the diesel variants of the three models. This exercise does not pertain to any other model of the company or its exports, said Maruti Suzuki.
