Chevrolet recalls 1.55 lakh vehicles in India

Chevrolet recalls 1.55 lakh vehicles in India, due to a wiring issue linked to the remote keyless entry system. This is said to be the largest recall exercise in the country till date.

Chevrolet Spark, Beat and Enjoy, manufactured between 2007 and 2014, fitted with remote-key entry accessory, are a part of this recall. The company has taken these steps after some incidents came to light relating to this faulty accessory.

The potential wiring fault could make the accessory malfunction. Some modifications to the battery wiring harness need to be conducted, which could otherwise lead to a short-circuit. There is also a possibility that the customers might be locked outside their vehicles.

Customers who have fitted the remote key access by AutoCop, in their Chevrolet vehicles are requested by the company, to visit their Chevrolet dealers for corrective measures. The company would repair the faulty components at no charge and the entire process would take approximately 2 hours.
