General Motors Recalls Over 1.5 Lakh Cars in India
General Motors India has recalled its three small cars - Chevrolet Spark, Beat and Enjoy - that were manufactured between 2007-2014 over battery issue. This recall will affect over 1.55 lakh vehicles, which makes it the biggest ever recall by GM in India. Just so you know, General Motors has recalled over 8 lakh cars since 2012. In 2014 alone, the company has recalled over 70,000 vehicles so far. The affected cars come fitted with a remote keyless entry accessory that helps open cars without a key.

"The remote keyless entry accessory meets all the relevant regulatory standards; however, GM India has been made aware of some isolated cases where certain Chevrolet Spark, Beat and Enjoy vehicles were fitted with a faulty accessory," the company said in a statement. The company further says that the recall is only for the models fitted with remote keyless entry system manufactured by AutoCop - an auto component maker.

Explaining the reason behind the recall of these vehicles, General Motors said that the defective battery wiring in these cars may cause a short circuit. This, in turn, may lead to a fault in the accessory - thus locking passengers in or out of the car.

The replacement/repairing of the faulty part will be done free of cost at the company's centres, and the customers will directly be contacted by GM.
