In a statement, TVS also revealed why it has recalled the EV units. According to the statement, TVS is recalling iQuibe units for a "proactive inspection". The company said it will inspect the bridge tube of units to ensure that the vehicle's ride handling is good over extended usage.
The company will also carry out any rectification, if required, on affected scooters at zero cost to the customer, it added.
The company or its dealer partners will individually contact customers, TVS Motor said.
