Maruti Suzuki has recalled 39,506 units of the Grand Vitara manufactured between December 9, 2024, and April 29, 2025, due to a suspected fault in the fuel level indicator and warning light within the speedometer assembly. The issue may cause the fuel gauge and low fuel warning light to not accurately reflect the fuel status, which, although not immediately dangerous, requires vehicle owners to maintain sufficient fuel and get the part inspected and replaced at authorized dealerships free of cost.
Maruti Suzuki will proactively contact affected owners for servicing. This marks the largest recall for the Grand Vitara since its launch, and it follows previous recalls for other issues like faulty rear seatbelt mounting brackets. Owners can also check their vehicle’s status by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Maruti’s official website.
Maruti Suzuki will not offer monetary compensation or an extended warranty specifically for the Grand Vitara recall related to the fuel pump defect. However, the company has announced a voluntary recall where affected vehicle owners will receive free inspection and replacement of the faulty fuel level indicator and warning light at authorized dealerships at no cost. The recall service is part of Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to customer safety and quality assurance.
Separately, Maruti Suzuki has enhanced its standard warranty across all models to 3 years or 1,00,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), with optional extended warranty packages available up to 6 years or 1,60,000 kilometers, but these are not specific to the recall. Owners of affected Grand Vitara units will be proactively contacted by Maruti Suzuki or their dealers for the recall service.
