Recalled units

Maruti has issued a recall for around 15,000 cars. This includes 11,851 units of the WagonR and 4,190 units of the Baleno. Why has Maruti issued the recall? It is due to a possible defect in part of the fuel pump motor. These units were manufactured between July 30, 2019 and November 01, 2019. Maruti hasn’t specified which engine of the WagonR is at fault, the 1.0-litre or the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol. The Baleno comes with only 1.2 litre petrol, so there is no confusion here.
