The company told the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) that a defect in the brake hose on the front axle has been identified in the recalled vehicles.
Possibility of front brake failure The recall documents state that friction over time due to frequent steering use can cause damage to the front brake hose (cable). This may cause cracks to form near the attachment point.
Due to this defect, leakage of brake fluid can lead to failure of the front brake and an accident. An alert to check the brake fluid level will also be available on the digital instrument cluster of the electric car. However, the rear brakes will work during this time.
