Bajaj Auto, the leading two wheeler maker in the Indian auto market, recalled its much popular bike – Pulsar 220cc DTS-i – due to faulty part that could lead to problems with starting the motorcycle. As per a company dealership, the company has been prompted to replace the starter relay on this 220 cc bike due to a problem with the part.
Speaking to ET, Mr. K Srinivas, President of Bajaj Auto’s two-wheeler unit, said, "At Bajaj Auto, quality improvement is an ongoing process as we recognize that no product, however good, is ever perfect. Towards this purpose we continuously monitor the in-use quality of our products well beyond their two-year warranty period. Recently, a non-conformance in the starter motor relays of some of our motorcycles has come to our notice."
According to the company, the dealers of Bajaj Auto are in touch with the customers and have informed them about this exercise through SMSs. The faulty part will be replaced free of cost by the firm and the process of replacing the part would take just 15 to 20 minutes.
The company, however, has maintained that the recall would not affect all Pulsar 220 bikes and the exercise will be conducted for a select number of models manufactured during a certain period. The company hasn’t revealed the total number of these bikes that will be included in this recall
