TVS Motor Company has recalled a select set of iQube electric two-wheeler units. As per the two wheeler maker, the units were manufactured between July 10, 2023 and September 9, 2023.

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.
