The service campaign, which commenced from October 29, is only for the new facelifted Maruti Suzuki Ciaz which was launched in India on August 20, 2018. The company says that higher-spec Zeta and Alpha variants of the car have been affected, and customers who own the new diesel Ciaz (Only Zeta and Alpha variants) can themselves check whether their vehicle is covered under this campaign or not on the company's website. Customers will have to fill in the chassis number of their car (MA3 followed by a 14-digit alpha-numeric number) on the special page created by the company for this.
