Maruti Suzuki and Toyota have once again recalled the Grand Vitara and Hyryder, respectively. In the third and latest recall, a possible defect in rear seatbelt mounting brackets has been identified, which could loosen in the long run, affecting seatbelt operation. However, the carmakers haven’t reported any failures of the affected part to date.
For those who aren’t aware, both SUVs had previously been recalled twice, once for a seat belt height adjuster problem and most recently for an airbag controller problem.
