According to a leading business daily, Maruti Suzuki India has told its dealers to stop selling specific batches of Swift hatchbacks and Dzire compact sedans. The company has directed to stop its sales because of a loose-fitting fuel cap. According to the daily, the company is currently contemplating the recall of about 1 lakh of the second-generation models already sold to the customers. However, the company has still not confirmed the recall and stated that there is a defect in fuel cap and it was still investigating the matter. If Maruti recalls Dzire, it would be a third recall of its second largest selling car in the country. However, the cost of the replacing parts may be borne by the supplier.
