Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has recalled 11,177 Grand Vitara vehicles due to a suspected defect in the mounting brackets of the rear seat belt.

Grand Vitara vehicles, manufactured between Aug. 8 and Nov. 15, 2022, are being recalled, it said in an exchange filing on Monday.

"It is suspected that there is a possible defect in Rear Seat Belt mounting brackets, which in a rare case, may loosen in the long run and impact its functionality," Maruti Suzuki said.

Vehicle owners will be receiving communication from the company's authorised dealer workshops for inspection and free-of-cost replacement of the affected parts.
