AvtoVAZ, the Russian automaker, is set to recall 5,701 Lada Granta vehicles for a safety inspection. The recall is reported by Car News of the Day and is based on information from the company’s press service. The initiative focuses on owners bringing their vehicles in to verify the OTTS number listed on the factory data identification plate, ensuring continued compliance with production standards. The service campaign covers 5,701 cars manufactured between November 2 and December 12, 2023, and is scheduled to be conducted at authorized brand dealerships. All inspection work will be performed free of charge for the affected owners.
The recall comes at a time when AvtoVAZ is defining its longer term path for growth. Earlier this year the board of directors approved the company development strategy through 2030. As part of that plan, AvtoVAZ intends to launch 12 new car models spanning multiple segments to diversify its lineup and strengthen market position. This strategic push signals a broader shift toward expanding product variety while maintaining the reliability and value that Granta owners expect.
In recent months, observers have speculated about the future of other popular models in AvtoVAZs range, including the Vesta family. Industry updates note continued attention to model lifecycle decisions and export readiness as the company positions itself for a more competitive post 2024 market. For consumers, the key takeaway is that AvtoVAZ remains active in product and service initiatives, balancing necessary safety recalls with ambitious product development goals.
