Mahindra XUV500 2011-12 Batch Recalled
Mahindra & Mahindra's cheetah inspired XUV 500 SUV has been a successful model for the billion dollar automaker in the country. At present, over 55,000 XUV 500 SUVs ply Indian roads, according to Mahindra.
Launched in September 2011, the XUV 500 has had a robust track record till now, thanks to Mahindra's stringent manufacturing and testing standards. Now, however, Mahindra has recognized some minor defects in its flagship SUV model, which it admits, escaped its scrutiny and ended up in customer vehicles, "even after rigorous testing and adopting best in class manufacturing processes."
The faulty parts that have been recognized include the fluid hose, front power window units and the left wiper blade cover. Not all XUV 500 units have been affected by the recall though, but only a few units from the 2011 - 2012 batch. Mahindra has announced that as a preventive measure it will have all the parts replaced free of cost and owners of affected vehicles will be contacted individually. The replacements will be carried out at all Mahindra dealerships.
In its announcement Mahindra states" We have now made the design more robust and decided to replace the old parts with the new parts to further give confidence to our customers that Mahindra is "With you Hamesha". Details of the service action are on our website www.mahindraxuv500.com/service-action and customers will receive a notice to bring their vehicle to the service center to replace these parts. The improved design is already introduced in the new production vehicles."
