Markus Sternberg, Sale After Vice President of General Motors India said that This is an intentional review and to the extent we know, does not influence the goodness of the vehicle but rather we need to ensure that our clients encounter the right execution from their vehicles. The company claims that the inspection, repairs and replacement, as per requirement, will be done within a time span of one hour.
