In the past Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) had proactively informed its customers about recalling cars.
When contacted, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) officials said they have not been intimated in this regard by the company so far.
Priced between Rs 4.85—7.32 lakh (ex—showroom Delhi), the Swift Dzire is the second—largest selling car in the country.
Last year, MSIL had recalled 1,492 units of Ertiga, Swift, Dzire and A—Star models produced in October 2013 to rectify a possible problem with steering column.
The last big recall made by the company was in February 2010 when it recalled about one lakh units of its flagship export model ‘A-Star' to replace a faulty fuel pump part.
Automobile companies have been proactive in recalling vehicles in case of safety issues since industry body SIAM initiated a voluntary recall policy in 2012.
General Motors India had also recalled 1.14 lakh units of its multi-purpose vehicle Chevrolet Tavera last year, manufactured between 2005 and 2013, to address emissions and specification issues.
