It has been reported that Mahindra has received contaminated diesel fuel during the above period and used it in select batches of vehicles which may lead to premature wear & tear of the engine.
The company will individually contact the buyers of the affected units to rectify the problem. All these suspected vehicles will undergo a proactive inspection of the engine and other related parts. And if found necessary, the rectification or part replacement will be carried out free of cost.
In the other news, Mahindra has recently launched a premium alternative to the rugged Bolero called "Bolero Neo". It is essentially a facelift version of the now-discontinued TUV300 SUV. Besides, Mahindra is all set to launch the successor model of its highly popular XUV500 three-row SUV in a new and more premium avatar dubbed as "XUV700".
