Peculiar issue on my 2500 km run XUV700; Do I have to be concerned?

SC said if the issue repeats they would replace the fuel pump.

BHPian sapien recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I am facing a peculiar issue with our XUV700 2500 kms run Petrol AT variant.

Steps to recreate:

  • After driving for around 100+ kms at highway speeds the engine light comes on the MID and the car loses acceleration.
  • Then I bring it to a standstill turn it off and restart after a minute.
  • It starts accelerating just normally post that, and the engine light stays ON.
  • I drove almost 130 km in this state with no observable issues.
  • Next morning again when I start the engine light is gone and the car operates normally.

Is this something worrisome or normal for a Mahindra? Has anyone else faced similar issues? This has happened twice so far, I plan to take it to a service centre for a check-up. Please advise any known solutions.

Update: I visited the service centre today, according to them there’s something not right with the high-pressure fuel pump, for now, they have updated the ECU software and asked to observe the behaviour, if the issue repeats then they’ll replace the fuel pump. Fingers crossed!
