Road Minister Oscar Fernandes on Wednesday claimed that General Motors India had recalled 1.6 lakh units of its Tavera vehicle due to emission norm violation but the company insisted that the number was 1.14 lakh.
The Minister said the auto major has "admitted" to certain "lacunae" on its part in maintaining some standards in the report submitted to the Road Ministry by a three-member panel.
"The report has been submitted to us, we have to go through it, there was a lacuna in maintaining certain standards which the company (General Motors) itself admitted and has taken out 1.60 lakh vehicles out of circulation," Road Minister Oscar Fernandes told reporters here.
A General Motors official said: "As per our records, potentially impacted vehicles after BSIII introduction are 1.14 lakh and we have recalled all of them. If there are more as per records available with the transport department we will recall them as well being a customer centric organisation."
