In one of the recent recalls, GM India recalled 1.14 Lakh
units of Diesel powered Tavera, which is exclusively built for Indian market
here, the company has been taking the matter seriously and has also sacked 25
of its senior executive involved in the quality issue. This also includes their
GM Operations and CFO of the group including other senior executives.
The American carmaker stopped the production of Tavera and
Sail twins in the beginning of June 2013 when it encountered the quality issue with
their diesel engines. Since, then we have been hearing that the American car
maker would restart the production by end of July or early August. However, as
per the recent news, the car maker could also recall the newly launched diesel
variant of Sail sedan and Sail U-VA hatchback. However no official confirmation
on the same has been claimed by the company.
Mr. P. Balendran, Vice president, Corporate affairs says –
“We have yet not arrived at any decision as of now, however
all the possible options are being looked upon”
Meanwhile, GM has identified a fix for the Tavera and say
that the catalytic converter of the MUV would be replaced. In certain cars, the
fuel pipe would also be replaced. Mr. Balendran said –
“We have identified the problem and the dealers have been
informed on the issue to change the required spare part. The entire exercise
would take around 35-45 minutes at the service station and would be performed
free of charge”
