Ford to recall EcoSport units made at Chennai plant between January 2013 and September 2014

 

Ford India announced that it would recall 20,752 units of its popular compact-sports utility vehicle, branded EcoSport. The recall has to do with multiple issues in units that were assembled at their Chennai plant between January 2013 and September 2014.
 
The company's statement on the recall said, “The safety of our customers is always a priority at Ford India. For their peace of mind, we have initiated a Field Service Action to correct product concerns on 20,752 Ford EcoSport vehicles in India. This is a proactive, voluntary recall action to ensure customers’ safety and satisfaction.”
 
The company said the recall was to test for concerns of fuel and vapour line corrosion in the long-term. Another issue to be looked into in the cars is regarding the possibly incorrect airbag deployment.
 
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.
 
Ford and other auto-makers have initiated recalls of products for defects, since the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) adopted the voluntary recall code in 2012.
