Suzuki recalls 10,000 Alto in Europe

Japan based leading car maker Suzuki Motor Corp is recalling the automatic transmission version of its small hatchback 'Alto' in Europe, which is known as Maruti A-Star in India. However, the recall will not have any impact on the cars sold in the India market as Maruti India does not sell the automatic transmission version in the country.

Suzuki is recalling about 10,000 units of the automatic transmission version of the compact car to repair the faulty transmission system, reported Japanese news papers. The company sold about 1 lakh units in total of Alto (A-Star) in the European market last year of which about 10 percent were with automatic transmission. Just two months back in February this year, MSI had recalled one lakh A-Stars globally to rectify faulty fuel pump gasket.

Maruti A-Star is company's flagship model in the European market, and Maruti is selling it in Europe since starting of year 2009.
