Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is recalling 2,628 units of its multi-purpose vehicle Innova Crysta and Fortuner SUV to replace faulty fuel hose routing.

The recall covers petrol powered Innova Crysta and Fortuner units, manufactured between July 18, 2016 and March 22, 2018, to inspect fuel hose routing and correct if required.

"In line with its commitment to safety first and customer satisfaction, the company is implementing this recall in India," TKM said when contacted over the issue.

The recall is applicable to gasoline variants of the two models, it added.

The company had also announced a voluntary recall for Innova Crysta in May, manufactured between April 2016 and January 2018, to inspect and repair the wire harness.

The recall also covered Fortuner units, produced between October 2016 and November 2017. 

Earlier thisyear, it was announced that Japanese auto majors Toyota Motor Corporation and Suzuki Motor Corporation today said they have concluded a basic agreement for supplying hybrid and other vehicles to each other for the Indian market.

As per the agreement, Suzuki will supply premium hatchback Baleno and compact SUV Vitara Brezza to Toyota, while Toyota will supply sedan Corolla to Suzuki.

"Details on each model, such as the schedule of the start of supply, number of supplied units, vehicle specifications, and supply pricing, will be considered at a later stage," the two companies said in a joint statement.

These models will be sold by the respective Indian subsidiaries of Toyota (Toyota Kirloskar Motor) and Suzuki (Maruti Suzuki India) through their sales networks, it added.

Currently, Maruti Suzuki India's Baleno and Vitara Brezza are among the top selling models in India.

By challenging and competing with each other with the goal of mutual improvement, Toyota and Suzuki aim to invigorate the Indian automotive market to further enhance their respective products and services to be offered to customers," the statement said.

The two companies further said for the vehicle models covered by the basic agreement, they will enhance efforts to procure components locally to the extent possible toward the achievement of the government's 'Make in India' initiative. "Toyota and Suzuki remain committed to the widespread acceptance and use of less fuel-consuming vehicles to help India reduce its environmental footprint and enhance energy security," they added.
