Suzuki not to be outdone by Toyota recalls 106k vehicles - any press is good press?




Maruti Suzuki India, India's largest car maker by sales, said its recall of up to 106,000 A-Star small cars includes about 30,000 hatchbacks supplied to Nissan Motor.

Quote from the article:
Maruti, the local unit of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp., produces the A-Star at its factories in the northern state of Haryana. The same car is supplied to Nissan--which markets the vehicle in Europe as its Pixo model--under a contract manufacturing agreement.

"We have supplied a total of 50,000 A-Stars to Nissan till date," R.C. Bhargava, Maruti's chairman, told Dow Jones Newswires. "The Nissan part of it (the recall) should be somewhere around 30,000 units."

Mr. Bhargava estimated the total cost of recalling the cars to replace a defective fuel tank part at between INR300 million and INR320 million.
