Maruti Suzuki To Recall 1.8 Lakh Cars In Lines With Motor Generator Problems

It is a brand that is entrenched deeply in the automotive firmament of India. A collaboration between a fantastic Japanese offering and an Indian brand that together made and still continues to make rave and far-reaching headlines. It’s also a brand that has determined the cultural interaction with that essential physical asset in India that’s actually treated no less than a member of one’s family.

Maruti Suzuki is not just a car name; perhaps won’t be too dramatic to call it an emotional chord of India, one through which you can gauge the sentiment of the country on the roads and the mad rush that makes the country a truly thriving enigma.
