Ford India is recalling 3,072 units of its mid-sized sedan Fiesta manufactured between October, 2010, and December, 2011, to replace a part used in starting of diesel engines. “We have initiated a field service action to correct a product concern on 3,072 Ford Fiesta TDCi vehicles,” Ford India said in a statement.

The company said it was writing to customers and asking them to contact their local Ford dealer so that “a new design, waterproof Glow Plug Control Module can be installed free of charge.’’

“This is a proactive, voluntary recall action to ensure customers’ safety and satisfaction and no accidents or injuries related to this concern have been reported,” the company said.

The module is the controlling unit of the ‘glow plug control’, which is a heating device used to aid starting diesel engines.
