The company in its statement said that they will be inspecting wiring loom routing in the engine bay of 1,08,306 units of XUV700 manufactured between June 8, 2021 to June 28, 2023 due to a potential risk of abrasion cut of wiring loom.
Along with XUV700, 3,560 units of XUV400 vehicle manufactured between February 16 to June 5 of this year will be inspected for ineffective spring return action of the brake potentiometer.
“This is keeping in line with the company’s customer-centric approach,” said the auto manufacturer on its decision to inspect its XUV vehicles.
Customers who are using the mentioned models will be personally contacted by the company after which inspections and subsequent rectification will be carried out, said the statement. “The inspection and subsequent rectification will be carried out free of cost. This action to carry out an inspection is in compliance with the voluntary code on vehicle recall,” said Mahindra.Earlier during the day, the company had announced that it has been fined a penalty of Rs 14.3 lakh for incorrect input tax credit availed during the transition from the excise regime to the GST regime by erstwhile Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Ltd, which has since been merged into it.
