The replacement will be done free of cost. The Tata Manza prices range from Rs. 5.63 lakh to Rs. 7.96 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). A spokesperson of the company mentioned that the company has not heard any complaints from the customers but still it is replacing a plastic component of the suspension system of the car which is known as the anti-roll bush.

However, the exact number of the cars sold was not revealed. A similar move was pulled on the Tata Nano in which the company did not recall the models but replaced the old starter motor with a new and better one absolutely free of cost. The company has asked around 1.40 lakh Nano owners to get their starter motors changed at the company’s service centers. It was done earlier this year and was the biggest replacement activity in the history of the Indian auto industry.
