Suzuki Motor Corp is recalling the automatic transmission variants of its compact car Alto (A-Star to Indians) in Europe. Indian A-Stars are safe as Suzuki only sells manual versions in India. Although the exact reason and nature of complaint is not known, the recall is aimed at fixing ‘faulty transmission’. The automatic version only accounts for 10% of sales of the Alto in Europe and a total of 100,000 Altos were sold in Europe last year. No news on the Nissan Pixo is available to us right now although if the Pixo was ever sold with an automatic gearbox, then it would also be a part of the recall too. Suzuki had earlier recalled its Alto/A-Star globally to fix a faulty fuel pump gasket.
Hi guys Its only for Europe and Indians need not worry.. also the europe suzuki Alto (A Star for us) is automatic variant which we Indians don’t have in our market
@ Nitin,
Yes you are true. But we don’t know why Automatic A-Star is not available in India.
Hello guys, from authentic sources, its confirmed that A Star Automatic gears car will be launched in july 2010. If you are looking for small car with cool features and don’t want to use clutch and gear, simply choose the A Star automatic.. Maruti A Star automatic will be the affordable and easiest city car to drive.
@ Jakir,
