4 Conclusion
In the present work, the reliability of automotive segment Wagon-R was calculated for various associated systems such as clutch, suspension, rear and front brake
based on the travelled distance. The results showed that most of the vehicles fails
in the sequence of the clutch, front brake, suspension followed by rear brake and
the concerned system failed at 12,000, 21,000, 27,000 and 29,000 km of travelling.
As, the condition of failure depends upon the various factors such as driving conditions, regular checkup or servicing, condition of car, etc. Results prevails that, it is
advisable to carry out the routine maintenance after achieving an initial distance of
10,000 km. Moreover, to maintain the reliability of every associated system of car, it
is essential to perform the maintenance after every 3000–5000 km only after running
of initial 10,000 km. The results and approach may be further utilized to perform the
reliability analysis for various other automotive systems to avoid any failure.
