With its new SUVs like the XUV700, Scorpio N, Scorpio Classic, Thar, and others, Mahindra & Mahindra has established a standard in the market for affordable SUVs. The company focuses on producing SUVs for every price range, and as a result, it has gained a lot of popularity.
The company has now announced a recall for both its flagship SUV, the XUV700, and the Thar ultimate off-road vehicle. Even though both SUVs have been recalled, the actual number and production date of the affected cars have not yet been disclosed.

Mahindra XUV700 & Thar Recalled
Due to a problem with the turbocharger, the brand recalled the XUV700 and Thar. Customers can use the VIN number of their vehicles to verify on Mahindra's official website's 'Service Action' section to check if they are subject to the recall. Customers can also contact the closest Mahindra dealership to find out if their cars are included in the recall or not.
The XUV700 diesel manual and automatic versions' turbo actuator linkage will be changed by the company to fix the issue. Additionally, the manufacturer has recalled the petrol versions of the vehicle in order to inspect the T-Block connector installation on the GVV vents and canister. For defective vehicles, a free replacement will be provided.
The turbo actuator linkage in the Thar's diesel versions will be inspected and replaced by the manufacturer. Additionally, the manufacturer will inspect and replace the timing belt and auto tensioners on both the petrol and diesel versions.
Both SUVs are powered mechanically by the same 2.0L mStallion petrol engine and 2.2L mHawk diesel engine. The peak torque and power figures, however, differ. The petrol engine in the Thar produces a maximum of 148 bhp of power and 320 Nm of torque with AT gearbox and 300 Nm with MT gearbox. The diesel engine produces a maximum torque of 300 Nm and 128 bhp of power.
