General Motors has issued a recall of 1,01,597 diesel models of Chevrolet Beat due to a safety issue found in models manufactured between December 2010 and July 2014.
According to the American automaker, it will inspect and, if necessary, replace the clutch pedal levers in all these vehicles.

General Motors said that it has started notifying owners of these models to take their cars to any of Chevrolet’s 248 authorised service centres across India.
The statement by the company also said that customers could contact their nearest Chevrolet dealership and schedule an appointment for vehicle inspection.
The company added that it is working closely with its service network to make the entire inspection and correction exercise as smooth as possible.
The recall comes after recent recalls made by Volkswagen due to emission regulation violations and Honda due to a safety issue.
