Toyota Kirloskar Motor has initiated a voluntary recall for its least-expensive offering – the Glanza. A total of 6,481 units, manufactured between April 2, 2019, and October 6, 2019, fall under the service campaign. What’s the reason? The Japanese carmaker wants to inspect all recalled units for a possible problem with the fuel motor pumps installed. If required, it will change the defective part with a new, functioning one, and the customer will not have to pay anything for the entire process.

Toyota hasn’t mentioned how long will the entire process of inspection and replacement will take. If you think your car might be part of the recall, do get in touch with the nearest authorised dealership at the earliest. If the dealer says yes, book an appointment for the job before heading out. The second option is that you can even reach out to Toyota directly, via the call centre. If neither of those options works for you, wait and expect a call from Toyota.

Earlier today, Maruti Suzuki triggered a recall for more than 1.3 lakh cars, covering two models. Out the lot, the major chunk (78,222 units) was for the Baleno. Unsurprisingly, the reason stated by the Indo-Japanese firm matches with that of Toyota’s. The reason why Glanza’s recall count is less than 10 per cent of the Baleno’s is that it doesn’t sell as quickly as Maruti Suzuki’s premium hatchback.

The Glanza, which received an upward price revision last month, is only available with one engine option. As is, the 1.2-litre petrol mill produces 82bhp/113Nm. However, if you opt for the variant with mild-hybrid technology, the power figure goes up by 6bhp. As standard, the Glanza comes with a 5-speed manual transmission. However, the non-hybridised motor is also available with a CVT.
