The details posted by the company on the Society of India Automobile Manufacturers Association or SIAM India's Voluntary Recall Information page says that this issue was caused because a supervisor failed to use the template for marking matching positions for the balancer drive gear. As a result, the markings were misaligned, altering the position of the balancer drive gear thus causing excessive vibration.
