General Motors to recall one lakh Chevrolet Beat cars

New Delhi: US automaker General Motors on Tuesday announced that it will recall over one lakh units of Chevrolet Beat Diesel manufactured between December 2010 and July 2014 to replace clutch pedal lever.

The company said it will inspect and if necessary, replace the clutch pedal lever in 1,01,597 units of Chevrolet Beat Diesel. “The company has started voluntarily notifying owners of the Beat Diesel to take their cars to any of Chevrolet’s 248 authorised service centres across India. The clutch pedal lever in these units is susceptible to cracking on continued usage,” said the company.

“Quality and care are our highest priorities and we are committed to putting customers at the centre of everything we do. If we foresee a potential issue, we ensure that it is corrected as soon as possible, as part of our complete commitment to customer satisfaction,” General Motors said.

Alternatively, it said customers can also contact their nearest Chevrolet dealership  and schedule an appointment for vehicle inspection and correction. “The company is working closely with their service network to make the entire inspection and correction exercise as smooth as possible. The affected vehicles will be repaired free of charge at Chevrolet’s authorised service centres across the country” it added.

Last week Japanese auto major Honda had announced recall of 90,210 units of its sedan City and multi-purpose vehicle Mobilio in India manufactured between December 2013 to July 2015 to replace fuel return pipe.  Earlier, Volkswagen Group had announced a recall of 3,23,700 units across its three brands — Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen — in relation  to the emission test cheating scandal.
