Bajaj recalls Pulsar220 to fix faulty part

Bajaj Auto is recalling its flagship Pulsar 220cc DTS-i motorcycle to fix a faulty part that could lead to starting problems. The company's dealers said a problem with the starter relay on the Pulsar 220 had prompted Bajaj Auto to go in for the part replacement.

However, not all the Pulsar220 units would be covered by the recall and the company is undertaking the exercise only for a select number of units that are believed to be carrying the potentially-faulty part.

When contacted, Bajaj Auto's two-wheeler unit president K Srinivas said, "At Bajaj Auto, quality improvement is an ongoing process as we recognize that no product, however good, is ever perfect. Towards this purpose we continuously monitor the in-use quality of our products well beyond their two-year warranty period... Recently, a non-conformance in the starter motor relays of some of our motorcycles has come to our notice."
