What’s the problem?
Grand Vitara automobiles that may exhibit inaccurate fuel levels or fail to activate the low-fuel warning light because of a suspected malfunction in the instrument cluster’s fuel level indicator assembly are covered by the recall. Maruti Suzuki has chosen to implement a widespread recall because an erroneous fuel reading can result in unforeseen refueling situations and, in rare instances, raise the risk of becoming stranded.
Which cars are affected?
According to the company and multiple news reports, the affected vehicles were manufactured between December 9, 2024 and April 29, 2025. Owners of Grand Vitara models within that manufacturing window are being notified and asked to contact their nearest authorised dealer for a free inspection.
What will Maruti Suzuki do?
According to Maruti Suzuki, the recalled vehicles’ speedometer/fuel indicator assembly will be inspected, and any defective parts will be replaced at no additional cost. To guarantee that the instrument cluster accurately reports the fuel level and warning lights, dealers will perform the required inspections and replacements. Instead of being a regulatory penalty, the recall is being handled as a customer safety and service action.
What owners should do now
Verify the manufacture date of your car, which is often found on the door jamb or VIN plate.
To find out if your VIN is impacted and to arrange a free inspection or replacement, get in touch with Maruti Suzuki customer service or your local authorized dealer if your Grand Vitara falls within the specified dates. The quickest resolution will be offered by dealer networks and official channels.
Why this matters (and how recalls work)
Service-center visits are typically used to handle recalls for instrument-cluster or sensor malfunctions, which are fairly common. Although this problem does not currently pose a crash risk, safe operation and trip planning depend on precise instrumentation. In addition to avoiding inconvenience, promptly fixing such flaws preserves the brand’s resale value and credibility.
Final Verdict
A voluntary recall of 39,506 Grand Vitara vehicles made between December 9, 2024, and April 29, 2025, was announced by Maruti Suzuki because of a possible issue with the speedometer assembly’s warning light and fuel level indicator. A free inspection and replacement, if necessary, will be provided to affected owners; get in touch with your authorized dealer.
