Leading automotive manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has recently announced its plans to thoroughly assess specific vehicles within its XUV lineup, pledging necessary rectifications as required. The company has disclosed its intention to scrutinize XUV700 and XUV400 models produced within specific timeframes, subsequently implementing any essential modifications. M&M will personally engage with customers, arranging inspections and rectifications without any associated charges.
“In an effort to ensure a seamless experience for our valued customers, Mahindra will inspect the wiring loom routing in the engine bay of 1,08,306 units of XUV700 manufactured between 8th June 2021 and 28th June 2023, identifying potential risks of abrasion-related wiring loom issues,” the company elucidated in a formal statement. Furthermore, 3,560 units of XUV400 vehicles crafted between 16th February 2023 and 5th June 2023 will undergo assessments to detect ineffective spring return action of the brake potentiometer, the statement continued.
M&M’s meticulous inspection process, along with subsequent rectifications, will be performed without any financial burden on the affected customers. The company is committed to reaching out to each customer individually to coordinate these procedures. This proactive initiative reflects Mahindra’s dedication to offering hassle-free experiences to its clientele. The company also underscored that this endeavor aligns with the voluntary code on vehicle recall.
Mr. Veejay Nakra, President of the Automotive Division at M&M Ltd, highlighted the company’s outstanding achievements in July. The record-breaking month saw the highest-ever domestic SUV sales of 36,205 units, along with the rapid growth of the XUV700 family to 1 lakh units in just 20 months. The Scorpio brand also achieved its highest monthly sales since its launch. Nakra emphasized the sustained demand for their flagship products and acknowledged the need to closely monitor semiconductor availability and component sourcing for continued scaling up.
