Ford India has initiated recall of more than 20,700 units of its top selling model – EcoSport – to fix related issues to fuel line and airbags.
“We have initiated a Field Service Action to correct product concerns on 20,752 Ford EcoSport vehicles in India,” the company said in a statement.
Ford India will recall EcoSport variants manufactured at its Chennai plant between January 2013 and September 2014, for concerns of fuel and vapour line corrosion in the long-term. “The company will also check the vehicles for reorienting wiring harness related to the correct deployment of side airbags,” Ford India added.
The company is writing to customers and asking them to contact their local Ford dealer so that the necessary rework can be carried out free of cost.
Last year, Ford had recalled 972 diesel variants of sport utility vehicle EcoSport to rectify a part in the engine starting system.
